Default Out of the box tips and advice please

Hi again everyone.

As mentioned in other posts, I will be receiving my new C50 within 2 or 3 days. I was hoping to hear some tips and do's and don'ts on the new bike.

Not so much on the actual riding and safety, but rather the mechanical and operational part of things.
I remember when I bought my first new car, the dealer told me not to break hard for the first 1000km etc. etc.

Anything you can add about oil, fuel, servicing, cleaning, storing, driving, caring for, etc, considering it is a new bike (dry tank). I know where to put the fuel in ( I think), but that is about it. I am eager to learn anything anyone has to share, even if it is a bit technical.

Thanks
Renier
