I believe it is 1.85 qts, unless you drain the bottom end. Get a service Manual, it will tell you everthing you need.

clymers manuals, search google for em' KandKatv.com also sells them. just buy 2 quarts of oil and drain the tank and bottom end and change the filter every time. You should be good then

I got the honda shop manual at rockymountainatv.com. Good to have around for tourqe spec's and stuff.

ditto on the two quarts pulling both plugs and changing filter. Just make sure you warm it up before you drain it. It's easier to get more oil out that way.

How long do you let it set. I change filter and let drain for 1/2 hour and can barely get 2 qt's in. A larger tank would explain how you can get 2 qt's in and not be over full.

just wondering what your secret is.
