Default Forks a bloody-gain

When you take the bike to the dealers for its first service will they put in a new set of fork springs and oil in the front forks and set the bike rear shock up for my weight.????

Or is this a daft question?

Well its, no, if you expect it for free, but if you pay of course they will. About 100 + labour for the front springs and oil.
