Guess you forgot about reading the manual then.

I've changed a lot of oil in my time, and I always remember the little capacity of almost ever bottle says "1 Quart/ .94??? Liters".

Now those Imperial Quarts...that will take an entirely new thread.

the manual says (.87 gal) , does that mean (87oz)
and this one i don't understand- (3.3 cu.dm liters) ?

No. It means .87 gallons.

There's 4 qts. in a gallon.

4 X .87 would be 3.48 qts

3.3 cu.dm liters = 3.3 liters.

There's about 3.8 liters in a gallon. take 3.8 X .87 and you end up with 3.306 liters.

It's a beer thing - a pint is 20 fl. oz. in Old Blighty. Quite simple, really.

You need to run the bike after an oil change for a few minutes, and then check the level after it settles.

Converting 3.4 Liters into Quarts (US)

Put you're bike on its centre stand and fill until you see it half way up the window. Please do not start the bike if the window is fully covered.
