You can put the bike wheels up on 2x lumber and lean it way over to the left on the jiffy and not have to drain the fluid. Nothing will pop out, but you will have to swap the cable from one cover to the other so make sure the ***** in the ball and ramp assy don't go rolling away on you. Also pay attention that it gets reseated properly.

Spend the $ and get a manual and a bike lift/jack.
It will make your life so much easier.

Nothing will fall out except trans oil. Lean it over like Dawg describes. I use the lip on my garage. You'll need a set of strong ring clip pliers. This is one situation where its best to not use a lift. Long ball allen wrenches allow you to pull the cover without pulling the exhaust. If you have an '09 or up.

You need to adjust the clutch. Lots of videos online.
