progressive springs
In my opinion the easiest way to drain the oil is to remove the fork legs and turn them upside down, seeing as you are doing the steering bearings at the same time. The spring change is straightforward on the 05 and up. Just remove the top cap and hook them out. Make sure you do not have any weight on the front wheel when you remove the top cap.

Do as Redjay suggested and compress them a few times to make sure you get it all out. The fairing will have to come off for sure.
The rest is straightforward.
