    It has a sight glass, fill it to around 1/2 way to 3/4....make sure you lean the bike side to side before letting it settle to get a correct reading.
    As an indication, when you have a hard time finding neutral, time to change the oil....or every 3-5th ride, all depends on how you ride.
    Hope it helps.

    rtfm! should be @ 800ml. You can measure how much comes out, use the oil check screw to confirm @ correct amount.

    Steve's right. No sight glass on the 2009. There's a screw you take out. On my 250 800 ml is always spot on.

    Sorry guys, never knew the 2009 had no sight glass..wonder if clutch covers from previous models with sight glasses would fit?

    My 2012 doesn't have a sight glass until I install the 7602 cover :thumbsup: I see them on 125s though, not sure if the CRs have them :confused:

    An 09 has a screw on the cover that you can remove for a level check. The correct amount is 795cc, I find measuring it is much better than using the level hole plus the small screws in thin covers have a tendency to strip out.

    I've been putting 750 ml (23.5oz) in my 2008 WR250. I better go back and check to make sure in doesn't call for more...

    WR 250 calls for .7 imp quart which converts to .84 US quarts. .84 quart = 26.88 ounces or 794.936 ml.

    Thanks Noobee. I'll make the adjustment (2oz +/- is within my comfort zone). :thumbsup:

    You're welcome, I was all over the conversions because I just changed the oil today myself. We have perfect riding weather right now. Gonna ride a top secret HnH practice loop tomorrow.

    My manual says 0.8 litres or 800 ml. Checked it once with the screw and it seemed spot on. Just put in new tranny oil after the last ride and my fluid was too silver-grey for my liking. I guess I've been abusing it too much.

    How many hours btwn oil changes?

    I just did an oil change and installed 7602 clutch cover with sight glass. 800 cc/ml fills it just to the top of the sight glass :thumbsup:

    I got mine warm and drained yesterday. I added a tick under 800 ml because I have no easy way to measure small cc/ml amounts. It worked fine today and there were some nasty rocky climbs.
