As for removing the gastank and airbox anyways, both are a piece of cake. The hardest part is taking the fairings off your first time. Grab a service manual so you know where all the tabs are and it's fairly painless.
There are differences and similarities between the 250R and ZX6R in regards to maintenance and upkeep. He asked about maintenance in general, not just oil changes, so I elaborated on some of them.

Removing the fairings on a 250 is like playing with Legos while on a ZX6R it's more akin to doing surgery on plastic.
