The manual for my 2016 Rocket Roadster shows a valve clearance check, throttle body balance and spark plug check among other things for the one year 10,000 mile (16000 k) service.
Both dealers in my area tell me that they only do those things at he 32000 km (20,000 Mile) service.
Does that sound right - Why wouldn't they follow the factory maintenance chart?
 
Short answer, because things have changed since the manual was printed.

I know the valve clearance has been moved to 20K miles, the rest you can do fairly easily at home up to and including balancing the throttle bodies if you use Tune ECU.

i have got 37000 miles and never checked valve clearance but i am probably pressing it a bit. did check the balance a while back and know i should change the plugs.
