Welcome to the forum.The main thing at the first service(600 miles) is a valve adjustment.With only 370 miles on the bike,I would wonder if the valves were checked.I always lubed and adjusted the chain at 600 miles.I changed the oil every 3000 miles.I find that these bikes shift much smoother,if you use synthetic oil.I used Amsoil 10-40.I know with synthetic oil,I could have stretched out the change intervals,but for 1300 ml why bother.Good luck with your new ride.

:cool:
