10K Service - Yes you can
Just completed all but one small step in my 10k service. First time I had to do any service to the scoot since picking it up this year.
Anyone who is wondering if they can do it themselves, the answer is a resounding YES!
3 hold fluid change piece of cake ( mobil 1 v-twin in motor, Redline Shockproof in the trans, redline primary in primary) Biggest hang up was trying to figure out the size of the allen head to drain the primary!!
Bolts tightened to specs
Tensions all looked reasonable.
Spokes sound tingy!
Still need to grease the neck zerk, but that should be easy when my kid brings back my grease gun!!!
All in all, took me about 2 hours maybe a bit more, taking my time and some beverage breaks!!

+1 Just did my first self-service on mine at 40k. Everything was easy like Kzoo said. Couple hours, few beers.
Word of caution though - the clutch adjustment nut torque specs are in IN-LBS, and the clutch plate strips out rather easily.
It's a $16 part, but not easy to find. Don't ask how I know.
