Here is a write up on how to change your oil. Had a bit too much free time...
Tools Required:
-Rachet
-Sockets (usually a 14mm around there)
-Funnel
-Oil Pan
and OIL. There is a discussion about this, what to use, what not to use. I won't go in to that.
Warm up your engine before doing this. (I have heard some people tell me this, not too sure)
Find the sump on the bike, usually at the bottom of the engine. Looks like a box. There will be a bolt in it. That is usually your sump plug.

some of them are on the side of the sump.

Place your oil pan below the sump plug. (Oil will come out of this plug, so be careful. OPEN your oil refill cap.
Remove it with your rachet and socket set.
Just before you completely remove the bolt, get ready for the oil to pour out, so you might want to bring the oil pan up near the sump. Once the bolt is removed, oil should pour out from the sump and in to the pan. Wait until nothing more drips out.

If you want to do your oil filter, now is the time to do it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you removed your oil filter, put a little oil on the new oil filters seal and replace on to bike. Do not screw on too tight. Hand tight will do.
Put the sump bolt back in to the sump and tighten. Do not over tighten. It doesn't need to be SEALED on there, it only needs to be tight enough so oil doesn't leak.
Fill with oil.
To check if there is enough oil, turn engine on, and let it run for a few minutes. This is for the oil to pump around the engine and in to the oil filter.
Turn engine off and check the level. There are usually two kinds, one is the dipstick

Unscrew cover and check wipe the dipstick, replace the dipstick. Take it out again and check the level on the stick. Should be between Full and Low.
and the window gauge

Make sure the bike is LEVEL. Check if the oil is within the two indicators. There should be two markings on the side of the window. One is high and the other low.
If you need to fill up more, fill more close filler cap and then turn engine on run a short while (minute or two) then check again.
HOpe this helps. :D
