Do it through the dipstick tube. You can break that plug or cross thread it. There isn't any advantage to doing it the other way IMO.

try pouring in about 2 quarts or so then running it for a few good revs with the dipstick screwed back in and then pouring the rest in....make sure the dipstick is in though or you may have an even bigger mess

Pour in 2 qts. SCREW THE CAP BACK ON, start the bike and rev it up good a couple times, shut it down and pour in the other 2 qts.

I use a funnel, but just wanna remind you that after the first 2 quarts go in, you gotta close the fill tube, start it up, and gun the engine a few times like you mean it. If not, oil will back up the fill tube sometime during the process of adding the other 2 quarts and go all over the place.
Not that I have any experience with this, but let me say I now know the difference between revving the engine and REVVING the engine.

It won't hurt it. Just don't shoot for the rev limiter.

but this procedure is mentioned in the service manual only after the engine has been disassembled...
