New Biker with little mechanical knowledge!

[Spireite]

Hi, recently passed mod 2 class A December.
I ride a 2013 CBR600f.
Just trying to find out exactly what work is carried out at main dealer during a service?
I know the obvious oil and filter, just need to know what else they check, adjust, tension, top up etc. As I'm a complete nooby
Do they oil the cables etc? Torque up.
I intend to have it serviced regularly, but just want to know if there is anything they don't do, that maybe I have to do/ check apart from tyres and levels weekly?
Sorry for noob questions
Thanks in advance.

I'd expect nothing more than oil and filter, wipe over with an oily rag and left while they try and flog some other person some exhausts.

have a look online for the service sheet for your bike, there are always some about either copied from the workshop manual or drawn up by someone who is very organised and has free time.

Having said that I've had a quick trawl and can't find one for the 2013 model. It should be in the Haynes manual? In my experience it will depend on where you take it - some will check/replace everything and charge you for work and materials used. Others will do bare minimum becasue they are too busy.

Trawled the net, can't find any service sheets, and looked on wemoto etc and my model and year ain't listed
Where do I buy spares from such as sump plugs, washers etc
So frustrating.

You should be able to find everything you need on www.wemoto.com

Ah, apologies - I didn't read your post properly. If you can't find the stuff on Wemoto, then try David Silver Spares.

they don`t do much for what they charge & nothing you cannot DIY.

Do everything yourself. You'll save pots of cash - like fifty quid an hour. You'll learn about your bike & pretty much every bike. Your bike & a good manual will teach you everything from servicing to doing your valve clearances. You'll have your own oil going round your engine, not some cheapo workshop piss. Change your own brake pads/shoes, chain/sprockets & you'll know the job has been done right & that everything is fit & tight because it's your life on the line. Always do a test ride, especially, if you use an unknown workshop. Use a workshop for stuff you can't do or don't wanna do & use a good old school workshop not a swanky showroom type place. If you like 'em, stick with 'em. Good workshops are like good greasy spoon cafes - you trust them & you should feel 'at home' with them. There are fellas on here who will know a good place near you. There are only a few rules when doing it yourself & the first one is - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So if your cables work ok, just plug a bit of grease on the exposed ends & carry on.

would you be happy to adjust the gears on a Moutain bike, replace the brake pads and grease the bearings in the headset?
if so you're 70% there already in the ability you'll need.
