    In case your memory fails you, the oil capacity is cast into the clutch cover, right next to the oil cap. A slightly over-full fill will leave just a bubble at the top of the window with the bike on the center stand. Makes it easier to detect leaking float needles, gives a bit more oil for cooing, and still keeps the working level low enough to prevent foaming.
