Hey guys, im a newbie and havent had a chance to buy a manual for my bike yet. Its a 81' XJ650. Today im draining the oil for a change. I am having trouble though finding out how much to put in.
Anyone have an xj650 and changed the oil.
Also, what type do you recommend?
Thanks,
Brent

My xj750 has the oil volume stamped on the engine right next to the oil fill cap, I'd imagine the 650's do too.
Any good motorcycle specific oil will be fine. I usually run a 20w50, but other weights won't cause you any trouble.

I Think its 3 1/2 Quarts for oil/filter change.
I added 4 Quarts to mine as I tore the motor apart and all oil was extracted- even residue.

Wow, i bet that took a while to do.
Hey, another quick question... i see the window to view the oil. Should it be filled half way when its on the kick stand or the service stand.

I know mine is on the service stand while running.
