I assume the question refers to changing the engine oil. Beside that, there is oil in the final transmission, in the hydraulic brake on the front, in the front fork and in the rear shock absorbers.

Now, regarding the engine oil: you need to remove the oil filler cap (shifter side, on the front top part of the engine cover) and the oil drain plug (shifter side, bottom of the engine block, approximately below the double bolts that hold the footrest, behind it there's a funny shaped cover).

You should preferably do the operation after having run the engine a little, to have the oil warm and fluid. Collect the oil in a suitable pan, replace the drain plug, refill with oil until oil level is between max and min levels (you can read it on the small observation window on the engine block, shifter side, front-bottom - gear-shaped if empty, dark if full), replace the filler cap. Level should be checked with the bike UPRIGHT, not at an angle.
