It might be stamped next to the filler cap. Otherwise it could have been a decal that was on that filler side of the engine. I'm sure someone here with a similar bike can tell you.

My 81 550T takes 2.3 - 2.5 litres, I dont remember exactly. A 650 shouldnt take much more I dont think. The oil capacity should be stamped right by the filler hole, like previously mentioned. Hope this helps out.

It's not a Katana, is it?

I have an '82 GS650G, but I don't have the book here at work. I'll be glad to check it tonight if you don't get an answer today.

I just changed mine and the filter, and I seem to recall that it was more than that.

2.5 lt without filter, with 3.2lt, if it's a Kat your up around 3.6 lt.
But never take this as gospel, put this amount in and check your level.
If it's OK do a quick trip around the block and you will find you have to top it again.

also did anybody try royal purple oil?

[Anonymous]

Ive heard from numerous people/mechanics/racers that royal purple is the best lube out there. Ask around in your area and see what people say. I have never personally used it because all of my vehicles have either leaked or burned oil.

Well, hell, sorry about that. When I got home last night the phone was ringing. A friend wanted me to help him prep his KZ1000 to try to sell up at Mid-Ohio this week-end (vintage races).

Anyway, we had a beer or three, and I simply forgot to look it up.

But what's writtten above is good.

You must open the third drain plug next to the shift lever to drain it all out. I usually add 3.3 quarts to mine but since i buy the gallon jugs I am not sure. I just make sure it is topped off after I am done and have started it at least once.
