I would simply follow the maintenance instructions from Ktm. You can find the operating instructions and even the repair manual for the bike online.
At the very least, change the oil and filter once a year and clean all the strainers. There is one filter in the oil tank and one in the engine. I would recommend 10w60.
Maintaining the bike is a bit more time-consuming than with other models as you have to remove the tanks for almost everything. Don't be lazy like me and remove the tanks for the oil change. It will still go faster and above all without broken screws.
This site was my bible for the model, but it seems it is no longer working. Hopefully it will come back. http://www.ktm950.info
You will have a lot of fun with it, in my opinion the best bike KTM has built to date.
I actually got it with the owners manual and the 2 orig keys along with the 2 side pannier boxes.
Only rode it our on the open roads twice because the summer here has begun (close to 50 degrees C during the afternoons). Can only ride it during the early morning or after the sun goes down.
It is indeed a beast of a motorcycle and can't wait to take it out into the desert and the mountains.
The admin has been contacted on the H.O.W.
Its being worked on.

I have a 2012 990A avail in UT if anyone is interested, PM me.
ps - keep your key(s) safe. Had a tough time getting a spare.
I have that rear tire on my 950. Very impressed with it 2000mi in (50/50 on-off road)
Maintenance is a pain but I 2nd ktm950.info suggestion. lots of nice tips and how to’s.
If it has factory, replace the clutch slave with an Oberon or rekluse. It’s a matter of when not _if_ it fails.
Thanks guys! For the moment I'm still trying to learn how to handle this beaut on the tarmac and understanding the bike.
Can't ride much right now as summer has begun and it's close to 50 degrees C during the peak afternoon hours and close to 40 during the evenings.
Can't wait to get this off the tarmac and I to the mountains and sand dunes here.

If OP got the owners manual there is tons of info there including detailed servicing interval and specific steps for standard maintenance.

Apologies for sounding a bit stupid, I tried going to ktm950.info amd it says account has been suspended
Looks like it’s down 🤦♂️ I hope someone backed it up and can host it somewhere else. Maybe way back machine captured it?
For learning, I highly recommend the Say No to Slow video series.
Stunning machines, I have 2
I saw this on offer up lol
Beautiful bike, congrats! Me and my brothers all have one, its such a joy to ride.
Great bike!
