10w/40 semi synthetic (putoline, castrol ect)

0.3 litres / 1/2 a pint (i think)

take out the dipstick on the right of your engine when sat on the bike, put the oil through the hole using a funnel

i'm sure its 0.8, 0.3 seems a bit low.

900ml but start with 800 then topup slowly and keep checking via stick.

Dont be screwing the stick in, just dip in to the bottom (if u get me)
And make sure you have the bike roughly straight/upright (centered)

could be, although I would think thats the lower quarter of the stick.

if not sure just start at 700ml
