What's the oil capacityof my 450??
I just bought this '82 GS450 last night and until I find a manual I don't know how much oil the crankcase holds. Does anyone know? Or maybe a link to a webpage that has specs like that. It says use 10W40 on the dipstick. Is this what everyone uses?

If you have a look around the crankcase, it is usually printed right in the case. It will be in liters though.
Alternately, have a look at www.suzukicycles.org; the info might be there.
If you don't have any luck with that, buy 4 quarts or liters of the oil you're going to use. Drain your oil into an oil pan, and pour it back into an empty milk gallon. This will give you an idea to start with.
Then pour the oil in until the sight glass on the other side of the crankcase shows that it is full. (or at least above the 'L' mark)
I just checked the link: no luck with capacities.

The Haynes says:
Oil Change: 2.6 Litres - 5.4 pints
with filter change 2.9 litres - 6.2 pints
Engine overhaul 3.0 litres - 6.4 pints
And when would you change the oil w/o the filter?!?!

Originally posted by sv650Those numbers sound right. It should also be marked alongside the oil fill plug as 2600 ml.
