Tune up or out?

[sidecar]

I'm a pretty new rider and I'm wondering about tune ups for aprilias. Is this something I should even attempt or is it best to head for the garage?

[widespread panic]

Well from what I hear just about any kind of service for these bikes is pricey. Can't see why you couldn't do the work.

Well that's encouraging...although my buddy just ran into some trouble as per my post in "other bikes" forum.

how mechanicly inclined are you?
