cbr1100xxflame

New bike and I want to do the oil change myself. What do you guys recommend using. I already plan on the KN filter but any other suggestions? http://www.euronet.nl/users/w_solarz/devil.gif

I have noticed since I got my bird at 3000 RPMS it has a pinging noise from the engine. I have the Yosh pipes and Power commander installed and have not yet looked at the power commander for the specs. Does anyone have a suggestion for me. Should I get it tuned or the valves worked. Also I have had a rubbing noise from the fronat brakes lately and I seems to happen more at slower speeds near stopped. Any ideas?
