Calm down Mr Impatient... Im guessing you mean gearbox oil, not 2 stroke oil??
theres a level 'plug' on the oil pump/waterpump side of the engine. Just between the bulge for the clutch and the waterpump, its a 6mm bolt, with 10mm head. Take the plug out, and with the bike held upright the oil should just dribble out. If youve changed the oil, which you should, quite regularly, you'll need between 600-650 cc to refill.
Theres quite a few posts on here all about suitable oil and change intervals.
Whilst you are searching, find the link that will let you download the service manual....its all in there, with nice pictures too!
Regards KK

FMS,
You'll probably find that all the viewers of your post thought something along the lines of:
"why don't people use the search facilty - I can't be bothered to repeat something that is already on the site..."

" The force is strong with this one Hhhmm " Well it was only a matter of time before somebody said it .
Or trying to find a non sarcastic sounding way of suggesting a look at the gearbox casing , where on mine it says 650 cl or there abouts .
