Some UK members recommend a coating of ACF50 for added rust protection. With a new Bike I always check for proper fluid levels and chain adjustment. More than once I've received a new bike with an over fill of motor oil and once a full quart under fill. Where I live it is not uncommon for dealers to use "unskilled techs" for setup. When I get a new bike home I'll go over the fasteners spot checking for anything loose and check torque on axle nuts and triple tree. Actually had a caliper bolt fall out of it's mount on a Guzzi once. Oh yeah, hair drier and Goo-gone for all the tank stickers.
