If they are dealer purchased, then you should be good to go from day one. My dealer in the U.K. made sure it had decent oil, changed the spark plug cap from metal to plastic and did a full pre-delivery check etc. Yes, vibration does loosen nuts and bolts, but a $5 tube of red loctite will soon take care of that when you do your weekly check and walk-around. You will only need a very basic set of tools, these bikes use Metric fittings so a set of spanners (6 to 17mm) from a DIY store and a couple of decent screwdrivers will take care of most of the tool needs. Dont go "Snap-On", but Homestore or similar will do. Also a cheap ($5) digital multimeter will be handy to check bulbs, wiring or anything else that might pop up in the electrical department. Probably $30 or so will be all you need. The rest of the technical info you can get here or, as a last resort, on Google.

Looks like you are going to have fun!
