Suzuki recommends the first oil change at 600 miles.  I had intended to do mine at 400, but didn't get around to it until now.  I'm still being (mostly) gentle on the motor during 'break in' with only an occasional run up to 8k or so on the tach.  I'll make the switch to some flavor of synthetic oil at about 1000 miles and consider this baby broken in.

I used the much maligned Fram PH6018 filter. The collective wisdom of the interwebs says this filter sucks, will ruin your engine, causes STDs AND world hunger.  I'm not buying it.  BUT next time I'm at the dealer I am going to price the Suzuki filter.  If its within a couple bucks that's what I'm getting.  You never know, the interwebs might be right.  I do feel kind of itchy.......

Chain was also adjusted and lubed today.
