What do you suggest what mainentance I can do at home? Do I need to check the engine's internals? What are the weak parts? How about internal filters, clutch, fuel pump, etc.?

Although not officially stated by Yamaha it is recommended that for a single cylinder bike that has such a high level usage that you do interim oil changes at ever 6 months instead of every year or 12'000km it won't break the bank and it will ensure that your most delicate parts are always working with clean oil without debris and other offending particles that can slowly reduce your engine life.
These bikes have a very solid clutch system so plates last a really long time.
Inspect your spark plug regularly for a nice tan colour not too dry or not too black.
Wash you air filters regularly and inspect and empty the drip oil container at the bottom for your air box.
Ride and enjoy.
