The oil change on the 700 is pretty straight forward and the biggest pain is filling it back up without spilling any oil. The oil drains pretty slowly through the hose from the cap to the motor. Also watch the metal washers on the filter to make sure you don't loose it down the drain bucket. One thing I pay particular attention is the condition of the air filter. I usually clean it every 150 to 200 miles depending on conditions. It sure gets pretty dirty but with thorough maintenance the 700 will last along time.
