I am no mechanic, but below is just my experience so take it however you want it:

Try to get a service manual (not owners' manual) and tighten all the screws/bolts you can find on the handlebar, fork, and tank to the torque specifications. That's the thing, there are so many torque specs that I think they are meant for something. It helped me tremendously in minimizing vibrations.

the tube that comes out of the air box had a small amount of oil in it after a short ride and I found oil dripping on the bike, mostly on the right side (and it's visible on the radiator as well).
My guess is that either the mechanic didn't close the oil dip-stick all the way, or that he filled too much oil.

I think you guess it right. In the owners' manual, there is a specific way to fill up the oil, so keep an eye on that when you do it yourself. The oil in the tube is normal, especially you do some high speed for a sustained period of time. No need to be concerned, just empty it once in a while.
Good luck.
