Look what I found on Gertrude - a sticker showing the proper oil refill amounts! Pulling out the calculator, it comes out to 3 quarts 22.4 ounces with filter change.

Check it 5 minutes after 75 mile run it is almost 75% full. I will stay with 3.2 qts. This is a great forum I am learning something every time I spend time reading. :thanks:
Where did you come up with 3.2 qts? Should be 3 quarts 22 oz. Glad you're learning something, that's why we're here, to learn and then to teach as we learn. I knew NOTHING about these bikes when I got here.

Just got around to reading this. Made mistake when writing. Should have said 3 quarts and 22 oz. My bad.
