Hey RideREd. why are all the " Your " words replaced with **.. been seeing that all day.????

and Buck . She takes a bit less than 2... more like 1.5 .. put one in and check. adjust with the 2nd quart... i recommend the Honda oil myself.

check without threading in the dip-stick.. just put it in the hold, find the thread and back out to check.

I run only 30wt, non-detergent in all of my rides. You can ad your own additives later if you really feel you need them.

Don't run a energy conserving oil !!!!!!! The additives in it will make your clucth slip. As for the weight..........that all depends on what time of year it is and where you live. Generally a 10W40 will cover every temp but in extreme cold I'd drop to a 10W30 or even a 5W30.

There is a small round label (size of a nickel or so) usually on the back of oiL bottle. If the bottom 1/2 says "energy conserving" DON'T USE IT!

You can't go wrong with true Honda lubricants.
It's cheap insurance.
The most I've paid locally has been $3.98/qt..
Consider how little you use and how expensive and time-consuming a clutch replacement can be.
Wouldn't you rather be riding than repairing? :)

It's made for Hondas, nuff said.
