You should buy 4quarts and report back to us, inquiring minds want to know...

[lostmykeys]

 I have researched it and found 3.7 quarts is the right amount.
 So with only 3 quarts in my bike now im running almost 3/4 of a quart low.thats alot

first you want to know if it is 3.0 or 3.7 now you start talking about allmost 4 just dump the #$%* in untill one of the dipsticks says stop and quite wining or go check the oil in your mower.

I am a little more careful nowadays I quess but in the past when I did an oil change on the 750 I would just buy 4 qts and put it all in.Never had any overflowing,misting or leaks and I figuired since its a dry sump system that the engine only pulls from the tank what it needs and the 'extra' oil would do no harm.
  I have mentioned this before but when I do an oil change I always tip my bike way over to both the left and the right and hold it for a bit. When I stand it straight up again I am surprised by the amount of dirty oil that comes out from different hidden passages and areas in the engine that won't empty if you just do it off the centerstand

bollingball,I just checked my mowers manual and it says 1.2 quarts on one page and another page it says 1.4.what gives?

1) 1.2 is U.S. Quarts, 1.4 is Imperial Quarts
2) 1.2 is no filter change, 1.4 is with filter change
3) It's the factory manual so both are wrong, go find a Chiltons or Clymers or Auto Parts cross-reference chart.

This thread is even more entertaining than the pod vs airbox debate, haha

 750 K,
 It is, and whats real funny is the fact that I thought I was asking a simple question.
 So I added the extra .7 ..3/4amount of oil to the tank today and the bike just exploded and cought on fire but it looked cool.
