Gday, Im going to replace the clutch plates on my 650r. When I remove the clutch cover with the bike on the side stand will I lose any oil. Logic tells me it should be ok to leave the oil as its a dry sump motor. Is this right?

Cheers

and if you dont wanna lay down on side you can use a tie down hanging from your garage supports and get the bike at a 45* angle, as long as its laid over some when pulling the cover it wont come out.
