Personally, since I really have no place to offload the used oil, I would very likely go to the shop to get the oil changed. Mind you, some places can get pricey when you do that. Unless you have a service contract, or know the folks really well.
But if I had a auto shop nearby where I can give them my used oil, then yeah, I would definitely change the oil myself. Having done it on my car (many many years ago) a lot, it’s quite easy at times (although I hate getting dirty).
A center stand would be handy for such a thing, I would think, if your bike has it.
Don’t forget to check the oil screen!
