Install Barnett spring set

Hi all,
Iam going to install a Barnett spring set.
I read somewhere on the internet that if i put my MT01 on the
sidestand, i can remove de clutch cover without losing the oil.
My bike has a 195/55 tire, so it's already i little more tilted
then standard.
Can anyone here confirm this? Other tips and trick are also
welcome before i start, thanks in advance!

Oops looking at the photo above, i see now that the bike is
tilted to the wrong side ::)
Maybe i coold put the bike in first gear and lean it to a wall

You can just lean it on something and the oil will not really
want to run out too bad...! Its possible. I did like this the
first couple of times...
I recently changed all the clutch friction plates in my Barnett
kit, and drained the engine oil rather than faff about....No
need to drain the oil tank. Then just refill.
Depends how lazy you are !

I re-used the original spring plate, the Barnett one seemed very
flimsy and there was no real need to replace it.

I cheated with the gasket and re-used that too. That way I
didn't have to disconnect the alternator wiring connector which
seemed hard to access.
If the gasket doesn't break on disassembly you can degrease it
and maybe put some sealant on it and you're ok.
