Question first maintenance

so as we know i have a new bike...bla bla bla...be gentle break it in, whatever..,
my question to the public is what needs to be done at 600 miles thats so important supposedly? Is it just an oil change which i can figure out how to do, granted i would rather be riding it. Really just rather pay someone to do it.

Secondary question, who knows a good bike mechanic to do whatever needs to be done, cuz i dont have time for all that really and in my years riding i really havent found a good trustworthy guy to work on my bike.

Answers much appreciated...

oil change, chain adjustment (if needed), lube everything that needs to be lubed. check all bolts (to make sure they arent backing themselves out)

i prefer to wait until they back themselves completely out before addressing the issue

Oil Change
Check all critical nuts and bolts for tightness
check /adjust drive chain
check/adjust cables
check /top off any fluids

Basically give the bike a real good look over for things that might get out of adjustment from inital use. If you need some one to do this, give me a call. Info below
