For what it's worth, I found that, with the Bosch filter, even after sitting for a week on level concrete via the centerstand, using 3 quarts 10 ounces of oil yielded an oil meniscus that was just at the upper level mark on the oil level sight glass.

3 1/2 quarts after one week was too much, completely filling the sight glass.

My bike is an '05 model.

You could add the dino version of Shell Rotella (15W-40) to your list of oils, as well. This oil is now labelled as "Triple Protection" on the bottle. Bikers on other forums I have visited have reported excellent results (even <<gulp!>> Harleys, too) with this oil.

Thanks much for the info update posting, Fergy...!

Judging by all the input from elsewhere, I gather this new Rotella oil should do just fine in our bikes....:beerchug:
