Default New to motorcycles, buying a 2002 SV650s

Hey guys newbie here,
How is everyone doing?
I am purchasing an 02 SV650s but the motorcycle has not been run in awhile. It has around 1200 miles on it. I am fairly familiar with motors/cars but I know didley when it comes to bikes.
Is there anything I need to do to the bike before I ride it, ie oil change, tune-up, etc...? If so, is there a good place that has instructions?
I work on my cars so I am sure I can figure everything out but I don't know if there are any "secrets" to doing some of the stuff.
Thanks for any advice. Happy riding!!!
Timmay!!!
