For anyone else out there who owns a 99-00 GSXR 600. I was wondering how many quarts of oil to put in. 10w40 full synthetic right?

Sorry, just bought this bike and dont have manual yet and too broke to get one right now.

Also is there a way to check the oil level on this bike like a dipstick or something?

sorry to sould like such a newb, i change my cars oil all the time, but i havent done a bike before. Any advice is well appriciated.

Before you start doing anything, get yourself a shop manual for the bike. The investment in the manual will pay for itself - trust me. If you over-torque the oil drain plug, you will spend 10 times the cost of the manual just to repair that!

look on the side of the bike and u will see a window, here when the bike is upright, ie not on the stand you can see the oil levl and also how clean the oil is, the window is small and round and is on the throttle side of the bike.

ps welcome to the forum i have the same bike, enjoy it

Your maunal SHOULD say something along the lines of 3.8 quarts of 10w-40 for the bike. I use 20w-50, change it VERY often and always warm the bike.

Stand the bike upright from the right side, and look for a small glass window opposite the stator cover. It will show you the level and color of your oil. Don't forget to change your oil filter too!
