You're going to pay a lot of money to have oil changed. Is there a reason you don't want to do something so simple by yourself?

The reason you would pay more is that they would have to spend time removing the fairings, etc...

No shame in that. Like I said, the biggest issue is getting to the oil filter and oil plug. You have to remove the side fairings to get to them. Then with a little creative use of aluminum foil, you can remove the oil filter without getting oil all over the headers.

And, it's just the same "pain in the butt" process on newer bikes, so you might as well learn now.
