Default 15 k service

Does anyone know what the dealer does for the 15 K service. If they just change the oil , I can do that my-self. My inner primary bearing went at 13 k a month ago and they changed it then. I cant imagine theres much left to check.
Thanks

Get a service manual. You can do it yourself and save big bucks. Save receipts for your warranty.

15000 Miles Scheduled Maintenance includes:

Replace engine oil and filter
Inspect brake lines for leaks
Inspect air cleaner
Tire pressure
Wheel spoke tightness
Replace primary lubricant
Replace transmission lubricant
Check clutch adjustment
Inspect rear belt and sprocket, adjust
Check, adjust, and lube throttle, brake and clutch cables
Inspect and lube jiffy stand
Check brake fluid level and condition
Inspect brake discs and pads
Inspect spary plugs
Check operation of electrical equipment
Check adjustment of engine idle speed
Adjust sterring head bearings
Check critical fastener tightness
Verify system and component functions during road test
Jiffy stand inspection and lube
Steering head bearing adjustment
Critical fastener inspection

Whether or not your dealer will actually do all which is scheduled can best be answered by the fly on the wall of the service department.
