I've posted a few questions on here as I am new to the forum and new to owning a bike. This will be my first full season of owning my bike, and first time having to prepare my bike for riding season. I'm looking into changing the primary, transmission, and engine oil as I have read it is costly to have HD do it for me (plus I just want to learn how to do routine maintenance on my bike). I do have a manual and I'm pretty confident I can work my way through it as long as I take my time. Just looking for any advice and tips that you guys have learned along the way to make the process easier. Thus far, this forum has provided a great deal of knowledge.

I do Engine Oil every 5000km
Plugs every 10,000 (On the even number EG 10, 20)
Tranny/Primary every 10,000 (On the odd number EG 15, 25)

Suggest investing in 3 separate funnels (I use Motul Twin Syn for the engine, Spectro 6 Speed full syn for the tranny and spectro Heavy Duty Primary for the primary)
A decent torq Wrench (the primary cover is the one you don't want to bugger) up and always use new o-rings

To do a full service costs me well under $100 when the dealer would charge $3-400.
