Leave it alone for a couple of weeks, all the oil will be on your garage floor. Then simply refill hehe

What a lovely machine though, my step dad has a 650SS :-)

No, all of the oil will be in the sump. At least it's only one drain plug then wink

I don't think the you tube link for a modern Commando will be much help. I'm no expert on Domi's but it can't be much different to a "proper" Commando. Remove sump and oil tank drain plugs, drain and refill.

Exactly that.

(Mine has been in bits since 1972, though smile)

There's also the gearbox and primary chaincase, of course.
