Default topping up oil

might seem like a bit of a dunce here.
but my oil level is half way between the top and bottom mark
im gonna top it up to the top.
just some questions - im guessing its as straight forward.
1 -get someone to hold the bike upright on level ground
2- unscrew the cap
3- pour it in.

is there anything i need to worry about ?
shal i do it when the engine is warm ?
or cold ?
how long should i leave it before i ride ?


thanks in advance for your answers

if the bikes on level ground then your oils ok,but if you do top up do it pref. when cold, yes you can ride straight away.

well yeah it has been raining since saturday but then its only wednesday and it only goes as far as your skin, so wear as little on the skin and its easier to dry off
