The most frequent things to do are to change the engine oil and keep the air filter clean. Adjust the chain and check the spokes for tightness every ride and keep the bike clean.

Every once in a while you will need to check valve clearance and put a fresh spark plug in it.

Other maintenance is required - like changing suspension fluids, changing wheel bearings and seals and you need to keep your suspension linkage and steering stem greased and keep the seals refreshed.

I am wondering if my 2003 yz 450f has separate transmission oil? if so what sort of oil should i replace it with??

no, the tranny oil is the same oil that lubs the top end....your thinking of a honda, honda has 2 differen fills....i would go with a 10w40 semi synthetic. that bike takes 1.2 liters (i still have my 03 yz450f, love that bike:) make sure you replace the oil filter also.
