Have an 03 vol it should take about 3.5 or so in oil. Someone also gave you a great tip about the telescopic mirror to check the engine oil lever in the sight glass. Heres another tip. Take an old thick phone book place bike on it and you can check the oil level with out the assistance of another person. But I personally want to get a telescopic mirror as it is a much safer and easier way to check the oil level. Ok where do I get the Telescopic Mirror?
