Engine oil capacity (after draining) - 3.0 liter (3.2 US qt).
That's for an 03, might be the same for the 04.

That's how it is on my RR, too. Don't feel bad about putting a little more in either.

3.5 quarts per the manual for my 02.any more than that and you'll regret it (like i did. put in 4.5 by accident... i was motorcycle-less for 4 weeks after that mistake)

20 w 50 is to thick..10 w 40 or 15w50 should be fine..Make sure that the oil you are using is compatible with a bikes wet clutch if its a automotive oil.

3.5qt with the filter puts mine almost dead on the full line.
