There usually isn't a drain hole in the bottom of the fork. And if it's a cartridge design taking it off the bike and cycling the internal piston is really the only way to clear all the old oil. Make sure you have the right type, weight, and amount before starting.

Taking the fork off the bike isn't too bad - but as Doc pointed out - you need to get the wheel, brakes, fender, and all the other stuff unbolted from it. If the spring is already out - loosen the lower triple clamp and slide the upper tube out. You may want to open the clamp up a little with something like the BIG screwdriver that came in the Sears kit that you have never used to drive a screw. Wrap it in duct tape or something to keep from scratching the parts. Have someone steady the bike while you do this. The lower tube may touch the ground, and the upper tube can slide down into it. If the spring isn't out yet - you will need to raise the front end to give clearance for the fork to come out.

Turn it upside down to drain out all the oil, and cycle it a few times until nothing else comes out. When you go to add it make sure you know if the recomended level is measured with the spring in or out of the tube. I do this with the fork in the bike because it holds it nice and steady for me. Pour in the first bit of oil, and slowly cycle the fork a few times, add oil until it is at the right level.

Good luck...
