Part DIY Service

So, these be all the things the service manual suggest for a Monster at the age and/or mileage of my own.

Obviously some of its dummy proof; other bits don’t mean a whole lot to me as yet, but is there anything in particular which is difficult/best left to the professionals?

Cheers
