Primary Oil
In the manual it says to warm bike up before dropping primary oil. If I'm dropping the oil to change the stator is it still necessary to warm it up? Iv got a bad battery and don't wanna wait for the new one to get started if I don't have to. Thanks

The manual suggests getting it warn for maintenance draining to help it flow out the small drain hole and get as much out as possible, but seeing as you're removing the complete cover it wouldn't need warming up first.

Additionally, it agitates the oil in the primary (or any oil pan), to help particulates/dirt that may have settled to become suspended in the oil and drain out with the old oil....
But as mentioned, not necessary since you are removing the cover... Anytime I remove the primary cover, I make sure to wipe down the bottom of the inner primary case to remove any settled sludge/dirt/particulates...
