When my service folks do or don't do something, next time I'm there, I visit the service manager and ask. Almost every time, there's a good reason for what they did or didn't do. A couple cases in point. Case 1: During my 12K service, a fork oil change was listed in my manual as part of the service, but I didn't see any charges for fork oil. When I asked the next time I was there, he told me they don't do fork oil at 12K unless there is evidence of leakage, he said it's a waste of money. Case 2: My bike has VMX cross-spoke wheels by KKE Racing, so the spokes need to be checked periodically, but my manual assumes I have the OEM wheels. Because of this, I specifically listed checking the spokes in my notes for the service manager. When I asked him why there were no charges for checking the spokes, he said they automatically check the spokes on any bike that has spokes; there is not extra charge unless they have to re-true the wheel or replace spokes.
In your case, I'd show him a pic of the chain and ask him if this was enough or should it have more lube on the opposite side. Besides ensuring the service of your bike, the goal here is to show them that you're paying attention.
As far as the clutch adjustment goes, there's a spec for clutch lever play; it's only 1-2mm (see below). The fact that yours feels different tells me they checked and adjusted it. That doesn't mean you like where it is, it just means they adjusted it. The fact is, your clutch lever play should be set to spec and you should be adjusting where the clutch engages via an adjustable clutch lever, not via clutch lever play. However, earlier 310s don't have adjustable clutch levers, so all your can do is adjust clutch play. If that's what you did (or someone did for you previously) and they came along a set it back to spec, there will be a huge difference in the feel. Not wrong, just not what you want. If you tell them to skip the clutch level play adjustment, they will or they'll tell why that's a bad idea (if it is).
P.S. 1-2mm for clutch lever play is the tightest clutch lever play I recall, so I walked out to my bike just now and checked mine. Sure enough, it's set to 1-2mm, but I have my adjustable levers set so I can hold my hand grip with my two outside fingers while pulling the clutch in using just my two inside fingers and the clutch is fully engaged when I have the lever pulled right up against my two outside fingers. If you continue to have real or just feel problems with clutch play/engagement and you don't have adjustable levers, I highly recommend you get them.
