That's one and most of the other one........make sure you drained the case, too........when you check it once you are all through, make sure you let it run for a minute or so to let the oil go all through the engine - otherwise you will get a false readout on your dippystick! :D

Man I love women that actually know what they are talking about.
I usually just put 2 quarts in.

pour in one and about 3/4 of the other one. Check on the dipstick, and fill from there. Sometimes not all the oil drains out, so it doesnt use up the full amount.

Well that's weird. It's just barely over 2 quarts I have to put in, and I check the oil a bunch before I ride.
