Questions answered per the manual:
Oil change: 600 miles/1,000km then every 4,000miles/7,000km)
Filter: At 600 miles then every other oil change. (I have always changed filters every oil change, personally)
Air Filter: replace every 24,000 miles/37,000km.)
Plugs: Inspect at 4,000 miles/7,000km and replace after every 8,000 miles/13,000km)

Valve adjustment: Screw & locknut adjustment every 16,000 miles/25,000km. US pec bike. European bikes may be different.
Difficult? No, once you get at them after removing the gas tank and a few small bits. Below is a photo of my girlfriend's
V-Star 950 engine when I did those valves. Same engine.
Riding "Issues"? Not really. Mind the steering head bearing adjustment. Parent bike Bolt 950 owners in particular have complained about the bike picking up a bad wobble
or head shake resolved mainly by replacing the ball bearings with tapered roller ones.
I've adjusted the bearings on my SCR950 twice now and have no wobble issues at all gong on 8,000 miles.
Oil use? If it does, it's not noticeable between changes on my own bike. I don't do extended freeway riding, but I do live in Georgia, USA where it gets pretty hot in the summertime.
