Of course you should do a 20K service. Why would you not?
As for the checklist, the full list in in the owners' manual and the service manual.
A thorough check over of all the bike, along with flushing the primary, transmission, and engine oil.
Spark plugs too.
If you're mechanically inclined, you can do it all on your own, assuming you have the tools. Otherwise, you're looking around $400 at a dealer service department.

fork oil change as well plus a lot of visual checks and yes it does need to be done, as with any vehicle, regular maintenance is necessary Maintenance is always cheaper than repairs. do it yourself if you have the ability, but know that doing it right is more than changing the oil and some parts. another alternative is find an independent.
