Quick oil change question!

[Pushdeck1]

Got the drain plug off and cap. Haven't pulled the filter cover off yet but was wondering whats the best way to drain the oil out of that drain plug on the side.

Also the fill level lens, should that be read when bike is upright or on the kick?
( I know its obvious, upright but just want to make sure )

Thanks in advance and yes I'm looking for a service manual.
