Ok, I just "changed" the oil in my 750 K8, and this was the first time I used quart bottles instead of jug oil. Why does the the capacity sticker on the "tank"/reservoir/manual say 3.7 quarts? After running for 5 minutes and 3 initial quarts into the tank, I was over the full mark by a couple inches. In reading the change instructions later in the manual, it says to add 2 quarts, run, check again.
For the change, the bike was hot, I drained the reservoir, sump, rotated the kick start a couple times and the filter was changed, all of it was on the center stand. What did I do wrong? I have change lots of oil, so are these bikes like automatic transmissions, half the oil held up somewhere?
