RE: First time service!
If you can wrench and have the tools buy the service manual and do it yourself. You should not have to lift the bike to change the fluids but be sure to get the oil filter wrench and one of those nice funnels at autozone with the clear flexible tube at the bottom with a little plastic plug that fits perfectly into the primary. Don't forget to adjust your clutch, it usually needs it at 1k. You will need torx bits to get to the primary so make sure you have a nice set.

Besides the torx stuff, you need a deep socket 11/16 for the clutch adjustment locknut. I only had the regular size, but got it to work. Like ChrisWillis said, a small funnel with a hose for the tranny and primary oils. A low oil drain pan helps. It's really easy. Have fun.

Buy the manual. It's very user friendly and practically walks you through it. The HD filter wrench is helpful, along with an extra drain plug gasket just in case. And god forbid - Don't ask what what oil to use...
