depends when it was last changed and when its due a service.

Your wasting money dropping it twice. Turn the bike over and let it get hot, kill it and do a change. Crank it but don't turn it over check it (and top up as required) then turn it over and let it get hot again (i let it idle until the cooling fan kicks in). Let it cool right off check it and go for a 20-30 mile run
