Run from HD as fast as possible and do it yourself as outlined in the manual. That is unless you *want* to overpay for a job that will take too long and be done incorrectly (?).

the XB is incredibly easy to perform maintenance on. i would drop both the engine and trans/primary oil at 1000 miles to be safe as well as oil filters. check fasteners for tighness, check battery terminals for tightness, any quality 20-50 oil @ 2.5 quarts for motor is fine, i posted complete list of all filters that fit, and i've found thru the years that Amsoil 20-50 motorcycle oil or Amsoil #75 gear oil in the primary is excellent for smooth shifting and long trans life. it holds 1 quart. try and drain both warm and let drain for an hour or so for best results.

one of the genuinely nicest guys you'll ever deal with and a new member of the AMA hall of fame to boot. when you install that muffler make sure to take 2-3 twenty mile loop rides at partial throttle, no super steep long hills, just relatively easy riding to let the ECM adjust to the new temps and back pressure.
If by "throttle sync" you mean resetting the TPS for the bike?... I would say yes... And the TPS reset procedure for your 09 is very easy... Basically you turn the key on, open and close the throttle three times (stopping at full open and full closed for about one second), and you're done IIRC... I don't 100% remember if you start doing that with the throttle at fully open or fully closed... Normally I would search this up but as I'm posting from my crappy phone and not a computer well.... Somebody will chime in if I'm wrong lol
I also have a to echo what lunatic says above... Excellent advice on all points...
