How much oil an engine takes depends on whether the oil filter is replaced at the same time: fitting a new filter usually adds a few hundred millilitres to the refill volume, which is why manuals list the two figures separately. The values above are taken from official service manuals, but capacities can differ between model years and markets — before filling, always confirm the amount for your exact motorcycle in its owner’s manual and check the level on the dipstick or sight glass afterwards.
