Thanks Thumper. I did at least change out the shipping oil before even starting the bike. I'm hoping to not have to learn to work on a carb in the near future. And on that note, I commuted today (26 miles round-trip) on the Templar X aka CB250F. The idle remained consistent!

Shifting up still likes to be difficult at times, a big deal on the road since you quickly get into 6th gear, but I assume this should improve as the miles increase (currently 46). Haven't adjusted valves yet, though she does start up effortlessly.

I can't get over how MEAN this thing sounds, and it looks badass, too! The graphics on one side had some big air bubbles that needed popping upon arrival but a small price to pay for a bike that kicks so much ass for so little cash.
