Default just bought a 250f...

So i just bought a 250f and i took it out last week and died for no reason so i loaded it up and it started like 20 min after just fine. Changed the oil last night and when i tried to take off the main oil drain plug it just kept spinning and wouldnt come out. I tried another plug that was beside it and smaller and drained the oil out of there. Not much came out and it looked really old so i assumed that was all that was in there. Added oil and a fresh filter and started it and all i see is the old oil in the window. So im puzzled if i didnt get it all and there is way too much and what i should do. All help is appriciated

Where's the oil level when the bike is level? If it's above the top line you need to pull some out. You can stick a tube down there and suck some out.

You want to check the oil after letting the bike sit for a few minutes if warmed-up. Remember it has to be level. I was a little confused when you were saying the oil plug just spun and you used a smaller plug to drain the oil. To my knowledge there is only one oil plug, but then again I have a different bike. You can suck the oil out from where you put it in.
