    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can someone please tell me the amount (in US quarts) of oil is needed for a 1977 GS 750?

Thanks!
 
Re: Oil capacity for 1977 GS750?

3.6 U.S. quarts if the oil filter is not changed. If the filter is changed, 4.0 quarts.

Thanks.

There's a guy on one of the other forums who says his oil window shows "low" with 5 quarts, and full at 6 quarts of oil.

Why in the world would it be taking that much oil??
 
Without knowing what bike we are talking about, I havent any idea. I dont know of any bikes that require 6 quarts of oil.

GFD,

I've got a 78 with the same motor and it is marked with 3400cc next to the oil fill. That equates to aforementioned 3.6 quarts. I agree with bandit though; you need a bit extra when changing the filter.

I've got a '79 750E and it is marked 3.8 liters which is 4 quarts. I have also discovered that the oil in the window will change levels remarkably depending on the angle of the bike. The oil should be checked with the bike on the centerstand ON A LEVEL SURFACE. If the surface isn't level, the oil level in the window will be wrong.
