Just make sure oil goes to F mark on sight glass and there is no problem.

As YC

I'm sure is about 2.6l (if you get OCD about it) on a oil and filter change. The filter holds quite a bit of oil. If you do a change, steadily pour 2l into the motor, give it a few minutes to flow and settle, then slowly keep topping it up to full.

Give the engine a quick crank once its the the F mark, recheck, then run it for 10 secs at idle, kill it, let it settle and recheck. Then run it for 10 minutes on the stand, let it cool, recheck and ride

Yes well that's how it should be done, did it like that past 9 years. But not this time. I am quite sure though I put 2.5 liters in there initially, according to indicators on motul 5100 10w40 4liter-cans. Could it be that the hiflofiltro contains like 300ml more oil than a genuine suzi filter?
