The minor service ncludes things like the oil +oil filter change, spark plugs, level check, greased moving parts etc, and cable and chain checks. then intermidiate adds air filter. the major one changes everything + does the valve clerance once every 2 years . additionally every 2 years all fluids need replacing and at every 4 years the brake lines need replacing.
I have full dealer history but after seeing what they acyually do for the money, i will do my own service every 6 months (oil,oil filter,spark plugs, fluids, grease etc). I am also going to do my own brake pads. I would get replacement brake hoses of the stainless variety as well. additonally keep an eye on the chain and sproket's and replace as nessacery.
I will be doing all of that myself from now on as it will save a bomb from dealer prices, making sure i keep all recipts for when i come to sell. the only thing i will be getting the dealer to do from now on is the valve clerances every 2 years, as the rest is easy.
If you are not confident go and do a bike maintinance course at the local night school!
