1.5 qts. is more than enough to change the oil in the motor AND the rear end. I think the figure is .8 qts. for the motor without opening the screen.

Oil capacities have nothing to do wth the right amt of oil...why?
Because everyone leaves some in the bike and it's always different.
The proper amount of oil is putting in 3 oz via syringe until it reads mid stick.
