Hi Marnitz,

Welcome here! How many km on your bike?

Basic service items you will need to do soon:

As said already - ALWAYS keep an eye on the oil level in your sight glass!
Ensure air filter is clean
Give it fresh oil
Change oil filter
New spark plug
Chain and sprockets (ensure they are still in service limits)
Fork oil replacement
Tires

Here's a list of bigger maintenance things you can do/keep in mind (for km intervals refer to manual/internet):

Find out if the doo has been done
Grease the rear linkage and suspension
At some stage you will need to do the bearings (wheel/linkage/steering head)
Check whether the cam chain and balancer chains are still within spec
Check valve clearances
Clean oil screen

If you can swing a spanner then the KLR is a cheap bike to run! Enjoy!
