With the bike up straight on a stand or something, unscrew the crankcase oil check bolt on the right side under the oil hoses coming out the side. Oil should just be level with the hole, just dribbling out. Then, put in the other .4 quarts. Start up the bike and let it idle and get warm for a few minutes, or ride a short distance. With the bike still level, check the oil, you should be near the full marks of the dipstick. It's scary beacause with the oil in the tranny and in the frame, sometimes it looks like there is not enough. It is really important to get the bike hot, and check the oil while the bike is level. Kinda screwy that way, but that is the trick. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
