On top of that, it's probably worth changing the fork oil at either the 8k or 11k service, and if you are doing it yourself, removing any bolt that you are ever likely to need to remove during later services and grease them, leaving them over winter means they will corrode and be much harder to get undone (trust me on this one...). It won't do any harm to replace the filter every time as well, even though the official schedule says you don't have to, putting clean oil into a dirty filter somehow doesn't seem right.
At every service check condition of spark plugs and gap. I also check the air filter housing, to make sure the two crankcase breathers are not leaking too much oil (have replaced crappy spring clips with jubilee clips).
At 15K you'll also want to check valve clearances, and I'd be re-greasing all the suspension linkages by now as well.
Cheers,
