You would feel the need to lube the chain every 500-1000km. The interval would depend on the conditions you ride in and the type of chain lube you use. Regarding the torque, low end torque is there but not that much at the same time not that less as well that you would struggle moving the bike.

Suspensions have no complains. They absorb almost everything Indian roads have to offer. Dont worry!

Update:
Changed the oil & filter yesterday. What amazed me was the Motul 300v (15w50) I'd been using. It had done over 5000kms, and I got paranoid and changed it. But amazing thing is over 5k kms it just lost 50ml! I measured the level and the engine drained 950ml oil! Amazing!! Also sorted out a few stuffs. Next I'll change the spark plug. Currently running the stock Denso one.
