Hi, and welcome to the forum. As for your questions, I will try to answer some for you.
I have an 09 as well and had to ride mine home upon purhase as well.

Ok here you go, on your first 500 miles your going to want to fluxuate your speed. Also don't stomp on the brakes and you need to break in the tires as well. The first 100 miles is good for breaking in the tires. Try and do some curves and again adjust your speed, when coming to a stop try and not stomp on the brakes.
You should receive an owners manual with all these instructions as well as some others when you get your bike.
Unless you already know, fillup at 100 miles and your good to go before having to place on reserve.
Their are plenty of great knowledgeable folks on here. Anything you want to know about the bike, can be found out in here.
Your dealership will or should inform you about the first 500 or 600 mile checkup.
Don't forget to post a pic of your bike and yourself as well. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Their are plenty of knowledgeable people here, that knows this bike inside out.
Happy trails and keep the rubber side down. Hugs.. kim

follow the break in procedure as best you can.  Somewhere there's a link to a fast break in procedure from someone on a ninja forum.

make sure they wash the tires to get the mold release off, makes them slippery.

well that's a relief, thought you were going to walk it to pick it up.  

Bus and walk home would be an ok idea in the summer, it's Feb though and pretty chilly here in ol' east tn.

Enjoy the new beastie.  Hopefully, they charged the battery and ran the bike.  Outside of the slick new tires, read the manual so as not to accidentally hit the kill switch and spend a few embarrasssing hours trying to start it.  The rubber fuel lines should be checked but if only two years in crate, should be OK  (The vacumn petcock/fuel line system is a thrill.)
See the many Raptor threads over the years.

If there is a member on here who won't admit to getting the handlebar switches, key position, side stand switch, neutral and/or clutch off sync with each other at least once or twice during their early Savage riding career and getting a "no start" then they are simply a deluded prevaricator in need of a cup of strong coffee to wake themselves up good and get their memories to working ....

Heck, I will even admit to twisting the key the wrong way once (I was reaching across the seat leaning over the bike) and wondering why it wouldn't start in the accessory key position.

On my old TW200 I'd always keep the fuel turned on. One day I went to leave work and one of my work "buddies" had apparently turned the fuel off. I made it about 50 feet to the stopsign and had to sit there for about 3 minutes trying to figure out what happened.
