hey guys, its time to change my bottem end oil in the blaster and the banshee. now i feel stupid asking this question, but how much oil do i use in each? i thought it told on Yamaha's website but i cant find it and i dont have a book for either of the 2 quads. outside the case on the banshee it says OIL 1500 cm3 (cubed) and outside the blaster it says OIL 650 cm3 (cubed). on my old quadracer it had how many ml it would hold but these 2 dont. any suggestions? is it bad to overfill it? thanks guys.
