Hi Riku; When changing oil it should be after a run when the oil is hot and flows freely, almost like water. Remove the filler cap so air can enter. The drain plug is opposite the kickstand and you will probably have to lay on the right side of the bike to reach it. You can pull the bike up level to get the last of the oil out. Always replace the filter, use two (american) qts of top grade oil, (I use 10w40) and change frequently. The book says 4000 but I change at 3000. Oil change is the best and cheapest maintenance you can do.
