i just bought this bike a week ago and i was going to change the oil but i cant figure out where the oil drain plug is.
also where do you add the oil. i saw a plug on the head and a plug on the crankcase. i own a ktm too so i dont know much about honda 4 strokes
 
I believe on this model, the oil drain plug is on the left side case cover at the very bottom kinda hidden behind the gear shift lever. these also had a filter screen held in by a spring and the drain plug retained both in place..

there should be a screw in dipstick on the right engine case cover. also on some of the older models, there is a cartridge oil filter that is behind a small cover held in place by 3 screws. use caution when removing to not lose the retaining spring that holds pressure on the filter.
 
it should be on the bottom or possibly the side. but if push comes to shove just go to ur local motorcycle dealer and they will help u
