Default spark plug

is it worth trying to change my own spark plug CBR900 RR 1999. I believe that I flooded it and now she will not start but back fires like crazy. I have read some other post and it seems to be a pain any feed back would be great.

Is it worth paying a couple hundred bucks for something you can do in a few hours.
