Default Another newb with questions

Hello!

I am the very proud owner of a beautiful blue '07 Suzuki Bandit 650S! I am new to motorcycles, so I have a couple of questions. Should I be topping up the oil? It is about a 1/3 to a 1/2 way between full and empty when the bike is on the centrestand. If so, should I continue with the oil the dealership used, or is there a better option? Also, I see some small scratches in the clear coat on the tank--what is the best way to protect the finish? I've waxed the bike about 5 times now. Thirdly, is there any way to protect the 'naked' portion of the bike?

Thanks in advance for your help! It's nice to see so many other Bandit owners.
