07 400ex Honda

i bought an 07 400ex brand new for a steal from my local atv dealer for 4200. 4600 out the door.
i have always owned honda utility atv's and done all the work on them myself my whole life (im 17) so this sport thing is new but does not seem all that hard at all compared to the big utility tanks.
i have ran 5 or 6 tanks of gas through it now and its about time for the first maintenance, my plan was to change the break in oil to amsoil 20W-50 Synthetic and tighten the chain.
I only have 2 questions right now, but im sure ill have more, ha.
1.) when i tighten the chain for the initial time should i use the chain tensioner or take a link out or 2?
2.) is there anything else i need to change or check?
i just dont see the use in spending 100$ for the first maintenance if thats all they are going to do.
Thanks alot
