The following is my opinion only;

I am following the Suzuki maintenance schedule (well it's their engine!) with the exception that I am replacing the oil filter as well as the oil every 6,000 km

- Use mineral oil at first then change to full synthetic at 6000 km (not before)
- Change the oil and filter every 6000 km
- Get your dealer to do the 1000, 6000 and 12000 km services then get the dealer to just do the 24000, 36000 services etc
- Do the intermediate services (18000, 30000 etc) yourself
Above assumes you can change the oil and filter, change air filter, bleed brake fluid, check brake pad thicknesses, check chain and sprocket wear.
Not a big job; get someone to show you the first time if you are new then you should be able to do it yourself next time.
