I need a oil change in my 05 r1 how much oil do i put in it? i will be putting in full sythetic oil but dont know how much to put in. please help thanks
You've got a sight glass on the bike don't you? Use it. Should take around 4 quarts with a filter change, put 3 in and check the sight glass, add 1/2 quart at a time until it is full.

First off a 05 dont have slipper clutch or idel screw I have an 05 only 08 & up has slipper if it's ticking its cam chain tentionr or clutch assmbly plates springs ect or valves need adjusting
Check the clutch cable and adjust it. If its hydrollic then check to insure it is working. The clutch may be Stuck together if the bike has sat for a while. That is tough to fix. Place the front wheel against the wall and try putting it in gear. OR Put the sidestand up!!!!!
There is a tendency for you tohear some noise because they are normally pretty quiet, but just in case you didn't check it out put your hand on the gas cap cover when going down the road.They vibrate after awhile> you might try synthetic oil also, it does quiet them down.
Could be that the bike has been ridden a little hard; could be dirty oil. Put a cleaning additive in your oil, idle bike for 10 - 15 min drain oil replace filter, add new oil - good stuff- and see if they quiet down.
Change your fork oil to something more suited to your driving style. Those forks may be feeling tired, but they works nearly as hard as your valves. The oil has most likely broken down and needs replacement anyway. Do some shopping and ask the experts what is best for your cruising preferences, If you need a stiffer or softer ride try inserting a new set of springs. Remember coil windings as well as fork oil determine the cushion in your ride.
mercedes say that 1ltr per 1k is acceptable.you dont say what mileage the car has done but over 70k i would recomend putting in 20/50 instead of 5/40.all forced air engines are designed to use oil to keep em sweet.turbo bearings/compressor bearings etc...
