2300ml of oil when changing just the oil, 2700ml when doing oil & oil filter.

that's my method, I really can't be doing with all the bending down looking through the fairing hole whilst trying to keep the bike upright stuff.

( not sure if it's an Asda jug though?)


Cheers Mark.

You might want to double check that.

It's 2300ml for an oil change, 2400ml for an oil and filter change and 2700ml after an overhaul.

*snigger*

I'm not blind, I read the service manual and thats what it said. 2.3l for oil, 2.7 oil & filter, 3.1l for overhaul.

I wasn't saying that you were blind but if you read your service manual you will find that it is for the '03 and '04 machines where as I am pretty sure Andrew has one of the '99 to '02 machines.

Unless he's added the oil cooler to the old bike of course
