Service question

[Dreadnought]

Morning all,
Total noob question, what are the service intervals for a 2018 R1200RT? The bike has done 13k and was serviced 12 months ago, but only a basic service. Something in my grey matter suggests that 12k is a large service with valve clearances needing checking?

Many thanks, I'll ask the garage to check the head bolts
