Changing the air filter is definitely a tank off job. I would always suggest a K&N air filter for these bikes, they simply run extremely well with them. And they're guaranteed for the life of the bike so it'll just involve cleaning it few and far between rather than keep replacing it.
There is always the possibility it may already have one in though so bear that in mind. They tend to be darker in colour than the standard paper ones, but should have the K&N logo on the top if there is one. Whatever you decide, do not go for the cheapest one you can find on Ebay, as you could well find that it under performs in comparison, as in it doesn't breathe well enough.
Over the last few months i've using a new brand of oil, from a British company that are obviously not too well known, but i've had no issues with it whatsoever and will be using it again from now on, i am more than happy with it. Sometimes changing oils can cause minor troubles like gear changing issues and clutch plates sticking, but this stuff has been spot on. Even better still, it's at a bargain price, there's 5 litres of it, and it's Fully Synthetic. A 100% thumbs up from me, and i am very fussy about anything i buy, so if anything doesn't reach my standards it ends up being binned. :thumbup

Another forum member posted this yesterday which was a good deal as well for an oil filter.

I've always had a ready preference for premixed coolant in my bike, but this one is very much down to the individual.
The fact that my cooling system has always remained in tip top shape over the years says to me that this stuff is doing its job very well all year round in hot and cold weather so i will keep on using it.

Obviously as it's the festive season you may have trouble getting some, if not all, of these to play with due to holidays, but there's a few pointers for you anyway.
