    Hi. Need to replace the board/brunches, but don't know if I can take the starter motor out with the engine oil inside.

    Can someone tell if the engine oil comes out ?

    With the bike on the side stand, you will be ok.

    You're fine. Stick it on a couple of blocks under the tyres and on the side stand so it leans a little bit more than normal. You could probably even do it just on the side stand for the starter as it sits higher than the split level for the crankcase cover.

    I've done my clutch this way and while this is an RC24 the bottom end is 98% identical to the RC36.
