I would ask Tim when the oil & filter was last changed & what oil he used, if its been done recently just top up with the same oil to the top
of the sight glass window.
If it hasnt been done recently, just change the oil & filter for your own piece of mind, best use a gen yamaha filter(£10ish) & semi synthetic
(£30ish)
A yamaha mechanic once told me the R1 clutches dont really like fully synthetic & it would probably slip, but IMO that might depend on if its got
a heavy duty clutch spring or a coil spring conversion fitted.
Workshop manual says 2.7 litre with filter change, I have just done mine & it took 2.7 to the top of the sight glass window.

All finished now mate, I picked it up from MNR a fortnight ago, had a few issues but all sorted now. It looks fantastic, very pleased

No, but I have requested one to be fitted when Chris & Marc have their one in production.
