Oil capacity

My '79 GS850G owners manual list:
Engine oil when changing....... 2.8 lit (5.9 US pt)
Front Tire size....... 3.50H19-4PR
Rear tire size........ 4.50H17-4PR

I however put in 3 quarts (.1 pt more than listed) and have installed metric sized tires on my bike.
Front tire size........ MM90-19 61H
Rear tire size........ MT90B17 76H
They are Dunlop 491's, a good everyday tire. Go to their web site for more info.

On the 850, according to the "Haynes" manual, oil quantity without filter change should be 2.8 litres, after filter change it should be 3.6 litres. (10w/40).
With the tyre sizes, front officially is a 3.50H x19 (I fit a 100/90-19), and 4.50H x17 on the back. (I use a 130/90-17).

Believe it or not, Alex, I thought the same thing when I read that someone had lost Manuel.

I love that show.
