The oil you should use is 10W-40 thickness... i use Mobil 1 racing for motorcycles.As for the tires i recommend Michelin Pilot Power 160/60 on the back if you don't use to make burnouts (they are expensive and very good to destroy them in burn)

Welcome to the forums!
I personally run Mobil 1 Racing 4T motorcycle oil. It is a full synthetic designed for wet clutch bikes. As far as the tires, being a new rider you will want a decent tire that will last a good while. Buying a Metzler or Michelin will be a good tire but more than you need, I am sure you will never push those tires to there limits and they will be dead after 2000 miles or less. I really like the dual compound of the Bridgestone BT014's that came on my bike and they still look good after 3000 miles and there is no chicken line to be seen. Also the Dunlops are a real good beginner tire that will handle good and last a long time.
