Oil change 1100 Kat

Post by PaulD » Wed Mar 14, 2018 7:35 pm

I’ve got differing information about how much oil the motor takes with an oil & filter change varying from 3.2ltr to 4.5ltr anyone know the correct amount including the top up after the initial start up?

On the casing it says 3200ml from memory. I just pour in Oil until it's at the F mark in the sight glass, start it up for a minute or 2, stop and leave for a minute or 2 and top back up to the F mark again. Start and stop again as before to check all OK. As I use from a 4 or 5l can there is always enough and some left over.

Thanks for that, the reason I’m asking what is a fairly stupid question is I’ve bought 4ltr of oil and before I started the job I wanted to know if that was enough including the post start up top up? I didn’t want to find out I didn’t have enough and was then unable to use the bike until I bought some more as my local bike shop doesn’t keep it in stock so I have to order it in advance!

Yeah, that will be enough. I don't think even with a new oil filter I have used 3200ml due to the fact not all the oil drains out.
