Oil change is not difficult. Oil filter removal tool, set of sockets, tension wrench because some filters need to be tightened to a specific tension. Google for a Download of the workshop manual.

I would recommend doing it yourself, pick up a k&n filter, some oil and save yourself 100 bucks. Its real straight forward. I think I have an electronic service manual if you need it. Shoot me a pm and ill send it over as soon as i find the file

Do it! Its cake, Drain, change the filter fill it up. Hardest part is getting to the filter behind the fairings and the headers on some bikes. Take the fairings off and the rest should go easy.

The only awkward thing is on a major service if you have to re-shim any of the valves. Otherwise all the routine servicoing is straightforward.
