2100 ml of oil in the oil tank. I use Engine Ice coolant. Flush system with distailled water 1st because you cannot mix Engine Ice with regular coolant. Depends on what kind of riding you're doing in terms of oil and coolant change intervals. Change coolant at least once a year. Oil really depends on how hard you ride it. KFX 450 rims fit, but you will need to buy flat (not tapered) lug nuts - very cheap from Rocky Mountain.

When I drain all the oil out and put in a new oil filter, I use a measuring cup and put in 2100 ml. Start your engine, let it run for a few minutes, turn it off, let it sit a few minutes, pull out the dip stick, clean it off, put it back in until the threads touch WITHOUT screwing it back in and check your oil level. No it should not be overflowing. Did you drain the oil from the crankcase and the oil tank? You should. This is all on pages 56-60 in owners manual.
