I am assuming your mean the tranny oil. It is 750 ml.
Don't
know
what
that translates in dumb American language but that would be
3
quarters
of a quart (gosh, I can't believe I just said that)

Enjoy the ride, that is one fabulous bike. And remember to
check
the oil
level AFTER the bike has warmed up. In case you don't know
the
procedure, do the oil change, take it for a quick spin.
With
the
bike on
level ground and standing straight from side to side,
remove
the
bolt on
the engine's side. This is where you check the level. You
let
it
drain
out till it stops (again, with the bike on a dead straight
position).
once it levels out, tighten the bolt and you're ready to
go. I
think
the 05 RM uses an alan key, unlike the old RMs that had the
10mm
bolt
(sorry, don't know what that translates to in dumb
American)

PS: I think think this is now located on the left side of
the
bike,
near
the gear shifter for this year's model.
You win the *** of the Day award.
I thought this might have been flymx when he started posting.
Then I
wasn't so sure. I'm heading back in my original dumb
American
direction now.

The US is possibly the only country left in the entire world
that
refuses to accept the metric system. So forgive me if I don't
know
the
stupid standards by which you measure things. You know, the
stuff
you're
all so familiar with, things that perhaps Shakespeare himself
would
have
used back in his day: ounces, quarts, gallons, fareneheit,
miles,
feet... it surprises me you people don't have your own way of
measuring
time.
You will be assimilated. I can remember in grade school they
were
saying
learn your metrics as it's changing soon, I am 50 years old now.
BTW
we
are in the process of changing time, give it a year or so.

Funny....the US military uses metric units....it's the civilian
population that refuses to change.


And why would we? The civilian population runs the country, not the
military.

Agreed....and the conversion would be very expensive, and it would be
unpopular. I remember when we converted here in Canada...it was very
unpopular.

I can flip between the two systems easily in my mind.....my kids are
metric only.

I don't believe that the refusal to change is any reflection on
American intellect per se....it's simply a reflection on your
conservative outlook.


How come the 2nd largest illegal group here in the US comes from
Canada?

I didn't know that was the case.....

Must be their *** hole government and beer.

It's your government that controls access to your country, not
ours.....if you want to resort to name-calling.....please direct the
attack at those truly at fault....the American government!

btw.....our beer is excellent.....yours is piss-coloured water.

Ken

Granted the US government is not doing the job keeping illegals out, but
most of the blame goes to the governments on both sides of the US for
having
such a shitty economy, rife with corruption and class mannerisms. Start
out
poor in both Mexico and Canada, you can most assuredly be certain that
is
how you will go through life unless you decide the break the law and go
into
criminal activity.

This is complete and utter bull***.....careful....your ignorance is
showing.


Bull? I think the last case of Mad Cow in North America came from Canada,
did it not? I can see you are a beef eater right away.

An ad-hominem attack is a sure sign that you have lost the argument.




I cannot comment on Mexico as I do not have any first-hand experience
there. I can comment on Canada. There is far more opportunity in Canada
for those individuals that wish to aspire than you will ever find in
the US. Education and medical care is FREE here.


Sure it is free. With free comes over used and incompetent care. How long
does it take you to see a doctor? Two weeks, three? How come the best
medical care in the world is done here and not there? Could it be your
doctors do not want to do skilled work without getting paid for the skill
required?

Our doctors are excellent.

If you go to the doctor with something that can wait, you wait....my
nephew broke his arm on Saturday and was seen, and treated immediately.



Post-secondary
education is highly subsidized here, and the entrance requirements are
based on your marks.....not your wallet.


You still are a bunch of dumb asses, no amount of state sponsored education
will help you.

An ad-hominem attack is a sure sign that you have lost the argument.




Our taxes [all taxes combined], while higher than I would like....are
far lower than the equivalent expenses shelled out by US citizens when
you account for medical insurance and related bills.


You are poorly informed and just plain stupid. How come when an important
citizen of your country needs a real life saving medical procedure, they
come here? Is it because only the best practice here too?




Poor Canadians do not go to the US to work.....it is highly skilled and
educated Canadians that do so.....most using legal means to do so.



You might be right on this, but I guess you are one of the low skilled ones
who lay around all day picking their nose, scratching their *** wondering
why their finger smells.

An ad-hominem attack is a sure sign that you have lost the argument.




Our poor are supported by programs so that they do not have to resort
to crime.


I guess that is why all the people from Pakistan and Bangladesh love to
emigrate to your country too. Great care and no work.

No....they know that they will be treated as human beings
here....rather than have to suffer at the hands of racist bigots.



It is an unfortunate reality that there are elements of
society [every society] that simply have no ambition to work beyond
being able to buy beer and cigarettes....these people would often
resort to crime if they had no social assistance.....and while it does
piss me off sometimes to support free-loaders.....I also understand
that this is FAR cheaper than having society bear the cost of increased
crime and incarceration. The US is the poster-child for this sort of
insanity......and it costs you dearly.


You are right here too. We should just take everyone out and shoot them, no
matter the crime. FWIW, most people here in the US in prison are there for
simple drug crimes, and my belief is that they should not be there in the
first place.




There would be no need for all the worlds poor coming here if they
sucked it
up and fixed their problems in their home countries instead of playing
the
coward and running here for relief.

You have massive problems of your own that you refuse to deal with.

We will continue to be over run from the
southern border until some brave souls (not cowards) come forth and take
control of Mexico and most of south America with the goals of making
life
meaningful, prosperity, just laws, low taxes, and non-corrupt elected
leaders.

Maybe we should start dropping arms across the border and see if a
few of them have what it takes to clean up their own back yards.

Uh.....you are doing this already there buster.....

Buster? Is that a brand name of a shoe? Seriously, you have no grasp of what
is happening here in the USA or any place in the world except for maybe the
mud hut you call home.

An ad-hominem attack is a sure sign that you have lost the argument.





eh?

huh?


eh?
