Kinda a broad question. Get a manual it will pay for itself. If you have a specific question ask it. Thats what we are here for.

Depends on the dealership and also the mileage for the maintenance schedule. First service is anywhere from 150-250 again depending on the dealership it may be more or less. Soft is absolutely right get the manuel for your bike and do it your self. It may seem scary at first but once you do it it will make you feel alot better about yourself and the insane amount of money you will save. And if you aren't sure when doing it there are a ton of folks with years of knowledge to assist you on the forum.

Get a service manual. Do some research on what types of oil, plugs etc.. that you want to use. Oh and dont overtighten the drain plugs or they will definitely strip out (casings are alumunium and the plug is steel...very easy to do) ask me how I know.
