What this guy said.
Anytime I've bought a used car/bike, the first thing I do is a fluid change. Even if I bought it from a used car dealer. You don't have a whole lot to worry about, as the car is still almost brand new and under warranty. But I'd do an oil change now-ish, and then just follow the schedule thereafter.

As mentioned, an oil change should cost you $50 or less. if you have to do a additional ones sooner than normal, so be it. Cost of owning a vehicle. Better that than a blown engine.
