OK, this question is going to show just how new I am to all of this, but here goes.

I’ve just fitted a set of FCR’s to my bike, so on Monday she’s having to go to the service centre for fine tuning and dyno’ing.

This is really the last time I want her to be anywhere near a service centre for a very long time, so I’m wondering what I can ask them to do/check while there at it?

I’ve asked them to check the valve clearances, but is there anything else I could get them to do to make sure that my engine is running sweet as a nut?

Apart from valve clearances and belts, perhaps a compression / leakback test? Will show up non-seating valves etc.
