Under the motor, big bolt. Should be in the center of the lowest part of the motor.

Here's my pan (not installed)

well what is the lowest bolt on the botton of the right cover, its a 17mm i think? i unscrewed it and tilted the bike and oil came out

[bgmart450]

Hmmmm You shouldn't have to tilt the bike. It should be on the bottom plate, facing toward the ground. Once the bolt is loosened the oil should just pour out when the bike is on the centerstand. At least thats how our 2 450's work.

If you are planning on doing most of the work yourself a shop manual will be your best friend. Plus its handy to have around for plug specs, tire sizes, chain etc etc

yep its in middle of crankcase pan, cant miss it, very bottom side of the engine

It is a ~21mm bolt, the size of a 'large' spark-plug wrench.

It's under the bike, in the middle of the (vented) oil pan.

You should be able to change the oil with the bike on the kickstand.
