If your bike was standing still for some time now, just drain it cold, let it drain over the night. If you start the engine oil will go allover the place again.

if i can't ride either of my bikes i let them to warm up well and i drain the oil out. afterwards i start them for 5-6 seconds with the oil plug out and i'm done. trust me, none of the bearings is going to take a beat.

Any particular recommendations for oil? I may as well do mine while the bike's not running.

I use silkolene 15w 50 as thats what my local aprilia uses for all their ape servicing. Its fully synthetic and have never experienced any clutch slip.
