Should be serviced every 6,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. How old is your bike and when was the last service done?

Basically, the services are as follows:

6.000 miles/1 year : Change the oil, check nothing is falling off

12,000 miles/2 years: Change the oil and filter, check the valve clearances, grease all the chassis bearings, make sure nothing is falling off.

TBH if you're not doing many miles I don't know if I'd bother with the valve clearances, especially if you're paying someone else to do it, as it's a pretty time consuming job, and they're extremely unlikely to have gone out of spec in 3200 miles.

I'd also be very wary of trusting a non-Yam garage to change the oil and get the right amount back in, especially if you haven't got a user manual for them to refer to.
