Hey guys, New to the forum but I've had my bobber a while. Just ran out of warranty so I'll take over servicing it myself. Just a quick question. How much oil and also coolant does it take? I've tried to find the info but had no luck.
Thanks

The factory recommends 15w40 oil. They say full mineral oil because it goes in the wet clutch, however the dealers and myself have been using synthetic oil, with no clutch slip problems. The most important thing is that it's a high quality oil and changed often. Because the same oil goes through clutch and gears it doesn't stay clean as long.
About 1.5-1.6 L of oil very important to not over fill.
As to the coolant I'm not 100% sure on how much I just top it when it needs witch is never Lolz.

Does the Hunter Spyder have an automatic chain oiler?

Have put in 1.55 litres of oil and not near dip stick?
Old oil has about 2+ litres in the drop tray
Thoughts?

My thought would be to add another 100ml or so and check again. Make sure it isn't leaking and the nut is tight. Shouldn't be much more to put in assumably. Also did you run the engine like he said in the video?

Make sure your bike is level and not leaning to the side or to the frount I only put 1.5 L in mine and it was completely full I find it quite strange that there would be more then 2 L in there Benno can you advise in this mater

The specs say the bike will take 1.9l. Though I've never got that much out. Make sure the bike is sitting upright, not on the stand. If the bike is nice and hot when you change the oil, more will come out. It might be pretty close.
