3.9 US Qts with a filter change. Purchase by the gallon is more cost effective.

Make sure it's for a wet clutch system! Don't just us.e automotive oil, our clutches work in the engine oil so you need to getoil to match with out all the detergents and additives to **** up the clutch. Not sure wher.e your going to get the oil, but just ask if you can't find a difference.

Check your oil level with the bike upright, not leaned over on the kickstand.
