Since the bike is brand new, the brake pads are probably caked with brake dust.
Remove them and clean 'em with "contact/brake" cleaner (available at any auto parts or bike shop).
Scuff 'em up with a wire brush and clean again.
Clean any parts of the calipers that are dirty.
Don't forget to clean the rotors.
Follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual.

If you're pads aren't worn out, then there might be moisture build up in your pads. To cure this go find a parking lot and go around 20 and just ride the front brakes to heat them up and dry them up, and if that doesn't help then just change them out. As for the oil, go ahead and change it. You need to be keeping an eye out for your mileage b/c the first few oil changes are the most important.
