This says 4.7 liters. Id try that and just watch the level when filling it just in case its a little off.

Remember, you're probably not going to get the full amount in until you've started it to put some into that HUGE ASS oil cooler the katanas have. you know how damned big that bitch is? looks like the water cooler on my 1000R.

My 750 GSXR took 4 quarts...but you can't drain the oil cooler (easily)...so probly more like just shy of 3.5 qts.

Too bad they don't hv an oil scavenger system for rice. I just got a new one for my new hd twin cam... that would allow you to flush the oil cooler

One thing for sure changing oil in the machine is a pain in the ass, had to remove headers, what's up with that. You would think things would be easy. I like easy

Remove headers? No way. Shouldn't have to. I'm guessing it's b/c of the oil filter. You should be able to get to it w/o removing headers. Put some foil down to reduce the amount of oil that drips all over the place.

Thats kinda how mine is. Someone on my bike specific forum suggested using a piece of pvc thats cut in half long way to drip it over the headers instead of on them. It works great.
