At this stage in life, I think I'll continue with what I've done so far: do myself nearly all on my DR650, do what I already can on the CB1100, and not sure yet on the W800. The CB just turned 23k, so I imagine chain and break pads are next up. I might have a go at those. Tires changes...hmmm, pretty easy on the dual sport bikes, tried on my RE INT650, but felt a surge of 4 letter words welling up within me, and colorful phrases I knew not that I knew. I took it into a shop.
I got 37,000 out of my original chain & sprockets and have over 37,000 on the replacement set now.
Brake pads however seem to last me about 20,000 miles.
I do what I can to my CB which is oil/filter changes, I've changed the tail light bulb myself, I can adjust the chain ..anything more complicated than that it goes either to my brother or to the head mechanic at my local shop.
BTW if we go out for cheeseburgers, I will order mine no pink with pickle and catsup. Brother will order his med rare and get catsup, mustard, lettuce, pickle, onion, tomato and ask them to throw on some jalapenos. we're just different lol.
