The oil is something like 4.3 qts.

Oil

It should be 3.4 quarts (without filter change) and 4.0 quarts with a new filter.

I was referring to Filter change. However, in my '83 750E, 4 qts leaves me low. I end up putting 4.2-4.3 qts in. 8)

DONT FORGET THE OIL COOLER TAKES UP A BUNCH OF OIL

Oooops

Sorry about that! My Clymer manual only goes up to 1982 so things must have changed a bit after that.

By the way....what oil cooler?

[Tarbash 27]

on the 1983 gs750, they made a little radiator that somewhat cooled the bike. oil flowed through and acted as a coolant to the motor, so there's oil lines and the cooler that have to be filled.

From the Factory Service Manual

Oil change 3.2 liters(3.38 US quarts)
Oil and filter change 3.8 liters(4.02 US quarts)
Engine Overhaul 4.0 liters(4.23 US quarts)

I always put in 3.5 litres, drive around the block, let it sit for a while, look in the window and then top it up to the upper line, almost 4 liters, usually a little less.
