I am going to be doing the first service (500miles) on my bike. I was hoping someone could point me to a good thread or just tell me what i should be checking and doing besides the oil change.

I changed the oil at 79 miles after an accelerated break-in (heavy compression/decompression) and switched to full synthetic at that time. The bike runs top notch and has never leaked nor burned a drop.
With the technology and the tight tolerances that Yamaha uses, there is no reason to not swap to synthetic (if that is your choice) for the first change. Most racing teams, be they auto, truck, drag, bike, etc... all use full synthetic from the day they build the engine. So does Corvette, Porsche, BMW, Lamborghini and several others. Those never see "dino" lube.
Clean, lube and adjust the chain, check all fluids after changing the oil and filter, check tire wear and air pressures, re-torque all accessible nuts and bolts to spec... You'll be good to go!
