I know it's old, but I thought I'd answer the OP's question:
I changed my oil for the first time today, at home.
All you'll need is an allen-key set, and a half-decent metric socket set. Also make sure you have an oil change pan or bucket to catch the oil as it drains out of the bike. If you're not sure about how accurate you are at pouring a funnel could be useful.
In terms of parts, I just bought two litres of genuine Honda oil and a Honda filter. I didn't replace the gasket on the housing, and look for suggestions from some pros as to whether I should have. It isn't leaking at all.
Follow the directions in the manual, and you'll be gold. It's really quite an easy oil change compared to most. Next time I'll take photos :doh:
