I called dealer and they told me 3 quarts with a filter change. So thats what I put it a few days ago. Just went to check it and oil started pouring out of my dipstick when I unscrewed it. Obviously that is too much oil. Also I let it drain quite a while before I put the plug back in so I know it was mostly all out. ALSO this i my first oil change for the bike and the old oil from the previos owner was pretty dirty. Should I change it in a few weeks since the old oil was so dirty or does it not matter

What does your owners manual say?

Here's the 2001 R6 pdf manual. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/service/manuals/2001/LIT-11626-14-39_314.pdf

It says -

Without oil filter replacement - 2.5L or 2.64 US quarts
With oil filter replacement - 2.7L or 2.85 US quarts
Total amount (dry engine) - 3.5L or 3.7 US quarts

:cheers

Hey, welcome to SBN! You're welcome for that owners manual that you couldn't find on your own. And you don't have to change your oil again until it's time. :twofinger
