2 quarts if doing the filter too.
you have to do the tank drain, the oil filter, and a plug underneath the shifter.

so 2 quarts will be fine? do i put it straight in the oil resovar?
yup, just put 1 qt in and start it up for about 20 seconds or so. then add the other qt to it. the res tank wont take all 2 qts at the same time without getting some pumped back into the engine. steve

You shouldn't be concentrating on how fast your bike is.
You should be concentrating on how well you can ride it.
Never ride over your skill level and Never ride over the abilities of your machine.
I put in about 1.5 qts, then I like to hit the kill switch and crank it over a few times so it pumps the oil into the engine before starting it.
Then let run a min, and add the last 1/2 qt.

ok thanks guys appreciate it.
Be careful not to over-tighten the plug on the botton of the oil tank, sucker breaks easy.
