It shouldn't, AFAIK.Does the CBR stator have oil in it? My Yamaha doesn't.

Don't bother draining it. If you drain it, you'll have to replace all of it (assuming you're not due for an oil change), whereas if you just remove the stator cover you only need to replace the little bit that dribbles out if it's even needed.
just lean it over on its right side aganist the wall, you should have minimal spilling.
I don't think that 1000RR has a gasket, so use a good quality sealant.
Careful with the bolts that hold the stator against the cover, they usually have red locktite, so don't strip them.
Will heating with a torch to help dissolve red locktite damage the case coating?
sounds like he's changing out the cover
so heating it and the possible issues with that
are really not a concern to the old cover
but I'd be concerned about the amount of heat required
to break the loctite bond down the length of the screws
doing bad things to the stator and its windings
would suggest avoiding the heat
securing the stator and cover assembly to be stationary
and ensuring the correct size and good quality tooling are used
by someone that has handled mechanical tools before

If draining good / newer oil is necessary, why can't you use a clean catch pan for the oil, and reuse it? I don't think the properties of the oil are affected, are they?
Why not just change it? It's like $20 in oil cost.
where are you getting oil for $20 for a oil change ? usually 2.8-4l per change depending on the motor.
