Don't know about your bike in particular, but if you try this yourself, make sure that you torque the oil pan bolts down in steps and in an "alternating bolt" pattern so not to tweak the pan.

Get an oil filter wrench that fits over the end of the filter and attaches to your ratchet. They work very well. Hope you put some oil on the new filter's gasket.
