Answer 1

This information is in you owner's manual.  If you don't have it for some reason, you can go to the link below and create a free account and download it for free.  It's a clean site but it takes a while because their servers are slow.

Answer 2

WTFare you speaking of? The oil level? In the crank-case?Depending on the bike, there is usually a recognized point to fill it to.

A dipstick, a glass sight, or a side-mounted filler are 3 examples of items that tell you when to stop. Barring those, check an owners manual. All bikes are different.

If you are talking about 2-stroke mix, well, that's another story.....

Answer 3

Alot of bikes have the oil info in raised letters right by the oil fill.

that is why yours says 1600ml on it. 9or something) look around on your cases by the oil fill.

ALSO if you have a sight glass just have someone else hold up the bike while you chaeck it.....

And DUDE I would only ever put in the right amount if it is supposed to only have 800ml in it and you put in 1600ml then you can cause damage to your bike.

Too little or too much, is bad.

Answer 4

If the bike doesn't have a dip stick...the it should have an oil level window on the side of the crank case...usually it opposite the kick stand side.

It will be a little round glass window with two marks on it... pull the bike upright so it is straight up and down...and watch that window, the oil level should come over the bottom line, but not the top.

It all depends on how big of a bike you have... my 1000 takes 3.2 liters (about 3.38 quarts). if I have changed teh filter too.

If it doesn't have a dip stick or window...try typing the band and model bike in your browser with the words "oil capacity" behind it..see if you get site with the number you are looking for.
