A lot of the work you don't need to be a mechanic to do, stuff like taking the tank and fairing off, taking the radiator hoses, thermostat and radiator off, taking the airbox and carbs out and unbolting the RC valve pulleys. This means that all the mechanic will have to do is remove the cylinders, change the pistons and put the cylinders back on.

Then you put it all back on... without having to have the mechanic charging you for spending 3 hours pulling it all off and putting it all back on...

If you are unsure about how things went, take heaps of pics with your Digital camera, and refer to them when putting it back together.
You should be able to get a cheap socket set at an auto place, and some spanners (8, 10, 12 and 13 should do) and two screwdrivers (philips and straight) and some needle nose plairs.

And get the pistons fron tyga... their prices are good (its a good idea to do both at once, so that you know both are good)
Your toolkit may already have some of this...
