Hello all. I will donate again to this site for the answers to this question. I'm a first time moto owner. I bought a use 2013 v7 stone through a private party, and it has about 37000 kilometers on it.
I want to know if I should pay the shop for the service or learn to do it myself?
The shop wants about $800 to do the 40 K service (see attachments of service to be rendered, from OM)
Alternatively, I could do each one of these things myself, and learn in the process. I use this bike to get to work. I like to working on things, but don't have much experience with motorcycles. Curious if all this work is best left to the shop, in which I would learn nothing, or I should take on myself and learn. It might take a bit longer to do myself, but will it cost me more? Is there a high risk of messing something up?
Thank you.
