And it's most likely valve checking every 15hrs in that "cylinder head service", once you have that all open you can just check and see if it's blowing up oil in there. It's good to check valves, but I know plenty who go awhile before any major adjustment. They go can anywhere from 30 to 50 hours. Hell my bike had 58 before the previous owner checked it and only 1 valve(out of 5) barely needing adjusting.
If you motard the bike that will require slightly more frequent checks as you'll be reaching much faster speeds and the motor can be spun up much higher in the RPMs than just sticking to dirt and using the retarded torque it makes.
I do recommend REGULAR air filter changes and depending on what oil you use, you can get away with the full 15hrs. ALSO since it's a brand new bike, please get one of these for it.

They make the WORLD of difference in logging when you need to service it. Have it installed before you even kick the bike over once to ride it.
