    you are welcome.
    the key is to work out the capacity from min to max marks on the stick. may be slightly different to mine

    worth a try anyway. you will get to know your engine drinking behaviour ;) if any.

    I run the bike on paddock stands for 3 mins then cool down for 3 or 4 mins. Then top up to the top mark on dip stick; as it says in the manual. Never had any problems....minimal oil usage... bike now coming up to 25000 miles.
