Thanks for the input.

Oh, and just got the manual download but would much rather have paper back manual. Any good sites to get it from? Had a hard time searching it...
The oil cap fill point probably says 1300 ml or some such thing. That would be 1.3 liters in the GWN. As for oil you may just go with a 10-40 weight oil that is suitable for motorcycles. 15-40 is also a good number. Check the back label on the bottle for a circle to see if it says Energy Conserving. It should "NOT" read Energy Conserving. Typically oils that are Energy Conserving are 10-30/5-30/5-20/0/20/0-30 etc. They will contain molifiers that are damaging to clutch plates in motorcycles. Also pick up a Hi-Flo 136 oil filter, it is cheaper than Suzuki and is good quality.
