unless the bike has been badly abused or neglected etc I think I would be asking more questions or take it up with Yamaha uk
Good luck
I don't think it's on the 6k, only the 12k, and from previous experience the chances of a dealer actually bothering to do it if you say "please do the 12k service on my bike" rather than saying "grease the steering head bearings" and standing over them while they do it are about zero.
