I am lucky enough to have two bikes. This means I am always working on one. I find at times wrenching and tinkering is just as fun as riding.

Grab the service manual for your bike. If you can read, (and I know you can) you can perform the service. Most of it doesn't require any high tech tools, and for the more complex items, you can always go to the dealer. It'll be the best $50 you've spent. Trust me on this one.... Also if you ever have anything go wrong, it has all the info to help you get her going. Besides that, you can save a ton of $$ by doing your own work. Give it some thought.
