Re: Transmission oil
1500 cc is what it will take when it is completely empty like after a dissambly/rebuild. When filling after a fluid change, put in a quart/liter then add to full. And don't forget to check the level after a warmup.
Red/White US '84, Spec II pipes, Y-boot w/K&N, Fox Shock, Mikuni carbs?
Re: Transmission oil
So on a oil change there is still almost 16 oz left in the motor.

Re: Transmission oil
How exactly do you measure your oil level?
Re: Transmission oil
Just sit the stick in the case. Did not thread it in.. put 11/2 quarts in it and took out almost 1/2 quart to get the level correct on the stick

Re: Transmission oil
Sounds like you are checking correctly. Mine usually takes a quart bottle plus about 1/4 to 1/3 of a second bottle.

Re: Transmission oil
Are you measuring while on the sidestand? If so there's your problem.

Re: Transmission oil
if you just pour it in and check it will seem over full. Start it up and let it circulate, then check.
I don't even bother checking anymore. I get it hot, drain well, pour in 1.5L and go. +/- 50ml out of 1500 is not going to make much of a difference.
