It depends on the condition it's in mate. Did you leave it sitting with fuel in the tank and hoses? Did you give it some after-run oil last time out? Personally, I'd take it down to the bits, clean, re-grease, put new shock and diff oils in it, check all the bearings, etc and put it back together. I'd even open the engine up and check that everything is good and lubed in there.

Oh, and always clean and re-oil your airfilter after every run mate. Hope the bug bites you again.
now thats just crazy. There is absolutely NO need to clean it after every run unless you are running in VERY, VERY dusty and dirty conditions, but even then every run is a bit over the top. I always heard clean and re lube your air filter after every hour of running.
