Here's the process.......
Undo the drain plug over something that will catch the old stuff to dipose of, then untighten your oil-fill cap on your engine to displace any airpockets that may still be retaining any fluid........next, remove your old oil filter......I always just take a screwdriver and jam it in the side to loosen it....
After that procedure, I start the bike up, for only like 15 seconds, just to cycle the rest of the naughty oil out, then shut it off.....
Wait for a bit and watch to make sure the oil is done draining......
Next, you take your *new* oil filter and fill it with oil.... it will fill up slowly so be patient.........ZZZZzzzz...
After that.,,,apply a thin layer of new oil around the gasket of the oil filter and install...tighten fully by hand....this seem will not break if tightened correctly....(by hand torque, only!)
After this, re-install the drain plug with a new crush washer. I always tighten till I can't tighten no mo.....Fill Mr. Engine with the remaider of the 4 Quarts of 15-50 fully synthetic you bought , start er up, check for leaks, if all is fine.....let's go RIDE!!!

You start your bike with NO oil in it??? That can't be good .. even for 15 seconds!!
