2 Quarts of oil?

One quart = 946.35295 ml. Rounded off 946.4

946.4 x 2 = 1892.8 ml

My bike took approx 1750-1800 ml and is still not reading completely full on the oil tank dipstick.

This is normal right?

I just changed my oil tonight for the race this weekend........

I put exactly 1/2 a quart in the clutch cover fill and exactly 1 1/2 quarts in the oil tank.

I then started it up and let it idle for about 3 mins, shut it off, then checked the oil from the dipstick. It was perfect(top line on dipstick)

Not sure if all oil containers contain exactly 1 quart but I used Amsoil 10w40. Good luck with it, Nick.

Yea, that sounds right.
We might as well just say the LTR takes 2 quarts exactly.
I wasted some oil priming the new filter, and I also lost some when cleaning out a dirty funnel.
I only planned on using about 1qt 3/4... but it would have taken the full 2 quarts no problem.

I used Valvoline 10w40 Durablend synthetic blend.
It's only $3.69 a quart, and was told by Gust's mechanic that this is the best oil to use... this and Motul of course.
