I've always done the first service at the dealer. Of course I can change my oil, check the torque on bolts, adjust the chain, etc. But I like the idea of having a trained expert look it over that first time. After that it's all me unless something breaks or it's time for the valve check/adjustment. The CB valve accessibility might even tempt me to try that on my own...we'll see.
Luckily the techs at my dealer are really good. The guy who does Honda only has 30 years, over 20 at the same place. Same for when I had my Suzuki; that guy made my bike run like a top.
ferret's right: for $179 bucks you can certainly DIY and get the same results. I guess I'm just superstitious or something.
