The Dissapearing Oil

(Gunnybusa @ Aug. 28 2007,16:36) 3100 mm for me. And besure to check it with the bike standing in it's riding postion and not on the side stand. I use front and rear wheel stands when I change my oil.

+1 on that

makes it easier to get a pan under the bike too

(06BUSA @ Aug. 27 2007,09:53) You check it with the bike off?
There are 2 amount to add. I don't remember but they are for oil change with or without filter. What does the manual says?

The manual says 3.1 without filter and 3.3 with it. Yep, I checked when it was off and warmed up.

What book are getting that info out of

'cause it's wrong

3.5 quarts for a oil change...3.7 with the filter

With a new filter add 4 quarts and you're GTG

I have the owners manual, and of course they are normally off. But I didnt have it in front of me, Ill check when I get home but I could have sworn thats what it said.

BTW, I checked once more with the bike completely level and it was full.

3.7 with filter change and I always change the filter with the oil. With four quarts I'm always well below the full mark and would guess that the full mark is alright with Zuki engineers

3.7 with a filter change will put you over the min (low mark)...with 4.0 you are still under the max (full mark)
