Yip, just open the clip with a pair of pliers (move it up the pipe a inch) pull out the bung and the oil will drain out. When your done, stuff the bung in and replace the clip!

You'll be suprised how little oil is contained in the drain pipe (unless it fills right up to, and into the airbox!).

If your oil level was right then the simplest thing to do is to put the same amount of new oil into the bike as what has just come out!
