3.0 litre (5.2 imp pint/3.2 US quart)
loosen the drain plug, warm the bike up, stop the engine, place drain pan under motor and remove drain plug and dipstick. let the oil dain out for a few minutes then wind the motor over a few times(don't start it) change oil filter and then replace your drain plug. top up with natures own and your good to go

 i would recommend downloading the shop manual.  you can find it on the entry page under CB650 heading.
This will give you all the information you need to know to properly tune and maintain your bike!
