Default '05 450 FSE Oil Change...

Hey 'lo!

I'm struggling to add the 1.8liter of oil to my 450 after changing the oil. Just picked the bike up and wanted to get fresh oil in it. Drained the oil, replaced the plug in the engine case and the frame sump. Then tried to add oil to the dip stick location.

I can only add about 1Liter of oil.

I removed the hose connecting the frame sump to the engine and verified that there's no blockage between the sump and the engine.

Anyone have the tips on how to add the correct amount of oil?

Thanks for your help,

~Jon

Thanks for your reply Tafka.

I was given the '04 manual, not the '05. I've since downloaded the correct manual and see that it is 1.2L not 1.8. The '04 was 1.8.

Thanks for your support, stay tuned for my next round of questions!
