I changed mine at 200 miles and will change again at 1,000 miles, at which point I'll switch to synthetic and check the valves.

I store my used oil in the container that the new oil came from, then take it down to my local Autozone for recycling. Since I have 3 bikes, I always have a container or two available. If you are buying an oil change pan, get one with a cap, then you don't have to bother to transfer it to another container. Most pans of this type will hold oil from 3 or 4 oil changes.

Chain lubing depends on conditions. If you ride in dusty or wet conditions, you'll apply chain lube more frequently. I usually do a finger wipe and if lube doesn't transfer, it's time for more. The rollers are sealed with O-rings, so all you're really doing is keeping the links clean, since you can't force lube into the chain rollers. If you're adverse to getting too dirty, check into Scottoilers, they'll automatically do the job for you.
