Just changed the oil in my tlr for the first time. Decided to go with Castrol R4 full synthetic (always had good luck with it in my gsxr). Owners manual says the bike holds 3.5 qts. I only put in 3 and it's right at the top line in the sight window. For a oil and filter change does that sound about right? I thought it might take closer to 3.2 or 3.3 qts. Thanks.

If it doesn't make it go fast, stop fast or turn fast, it doesn't have it.

I ran 3 quarts last time and the shifting was really notchy. On the last oil change I went 3.5 and it shifts a lot better. I'd add a little moreSOLD! 2002 Suzuki TL1000R -

Is the bike upright. Did you let it run and watch the window? I also only put 3 a tad bit more in my baby.I know nothing about bikes.
