I know the rated oil capacity is 2.8q... but every time I do the change I end up with about 3.5q in it until I'm on the stick. WTF is the reason with that? Anyone else see this or am I goofing something up?
Make sure the bike is on the center stand and it's level.The filter may soak up 1/4 quart.If it's an F model or has an oil cooler that may explain the extra oil.That's all I can think of rite now.
oil Specs for an F model is:
w/out Filter- 2.7 us qt
W/ filter change- 3.1 US qt
Overhaul- 3.4 us qt
Sounds close enough to me :thumb:
huh... the Suzi dealer here in town told me that an F is 2.8-2.9q... and at 3q it doesn't even touch the stick. I usually end up @ 3.5... as I did yesterday.
side note... the 15t sprocket I did at the same time is much more gooder!
im changing my oil soon ill let you know how much mine takes :thumb:
You might be burning some oil too.
The F model has an oil cooler right.
So wouldn't that mean it needs more oil than a non F? :dunno_white:
Fill it till its happy and don't stress too much?
