Checking Service Records of a Used Bike (Read 1 times)

This is my first bike, and it's got a bit more power than those 250cc bikes at the MSF class . My qeustion is: is there a way to see what service has done by dealerships? If I give a dealership the VIN will they be able to give me a history?

You could as the PO where the service was done. Sometimes their records are more accessable.

I got it used from a dealership, I don't know the previous owner. The salesman said he was also military, it had a Missouri plate. I can tell it was also someone's first bike, it has some evidence of having been dropped before.

Let's just say that the 600 mile service wasn't done, would it still be running after 5000 miles?

The second is to readjust the valves. And last is to check the torque of many screws and bolts so something don't fall off.
