The biggest thing is oil and filter change. Then you want to check everything for security and condition. Remember most bikes are shipped with front wheel and handle bars off, for sure check these as most dealers have their rookies working make ready. Last year I bought a new Yamaha Super Tenere and several months after purchase I was checking tire pressure on front wheel and saw that both pinch bolts that hold the axle were backed off nearly half their length.
To kill two birds with one stone, wash the bike in detail and as you are washing each component check it for tightness.
