My understanding is that the valve shims rarely need doing at 24 k, probably people with higher mileage bikes than my own can confirm. Id get a set of vacuum guages for carb balancing, there used to be a posting on here with a video which is very good, change engine oil and filter, plugs, air filter and if Yamaha insist , fuel filter. Check the brake pad thickness and clean the caliper pistons and pins [ dont take the pistons out !]. Greasing the rear suspension linkage is a doddle compared to my Triumph so thats an easy one. Id do the job over two or three weekends, keep the reciepts for the parts if youre worried about the service history Vs bike value. Swap out the coolant, very easy, adjust and lube the chain DONT spray oil on it , check the tyre pressures then thats it, jobs a good 'un unless anyone can think of anything else. Keep refering to the Haynes, the best tool that youll buy and post on here with any questions.
Dont take it back to that rob dog dealer but it might be worth giving trading standards a ring about them given that they have sold you a bike under false pretences.
