Does anyone know how much lube in a 2004 250EX differential?

I'll have to check my manual, but the easiest way (that I have done), is simply remove the check bolt on the side, add a little at a time or slowly (since it is fairly thick oil), when you see it start coming out the side check hole, put in the check bolt (not too tightly as it is aluminum thread, then add a little more oil.
