FZ6If you’re looking for one bike to perform a multitude of missions, look no further.
Take it from Cycle World* Magazine - “For a more advanced rider looking for a bike to do it all, there is no other choice.”
the owners guide says with a replacement filter the oil change volume is like 2.9liters
so I put that in and I just barely see oil at the tippy bottom of the dipstick. so I put in almost another .5 liters to get it up near the top of the dip stick range.
ok, then I start it. no oil lights, seems good. but I turn it off and pull the dipstick and its way down towards the bottom, a good 3/4" lower than it was.
with that info, should I add more oil? I assume it went down due to it circulating the oil and it not settling back down yet, do I want to read the oil level after it circulates or after it settles back down?
If you use Amsoil Synthetic Motorcycle Engine Oil 10W40 you can increase the oil change intervals to 8000 miles, but at 4000 miles change only the oil filter, then add just enough new Amsoil to make up from what you lost changing the filter.
The oil will last for 8K miles but the filter won't.

Doesn't the oil pour out when you take off the filter?

And how do you know the filter will not last for 8000 miles? Did it speak up and tell you?
My Ducati S2R has a 7000 mile oil change interval, there is nothing about changing the filter midway through...
