I've been going through the service manual on the new Vmax. The Beast holds an awful lot of oil according to the service manual. Maybe thats where some of the extra weight is comming from. What bothers me some is that it appears to retain over a quart of old oil in the system when performing a oil and filter change.
Total Engine oil amount is 6.24 US qt.
Without oil filter cartridge replacement it calls for 4.55 US qt.
With oil filter replacement it calls for 4.97 US qt.
That means your leaving 1.27 US Qts of dirty oil in the engine after each change?
Well maybe thats not so bad as I just checked and the 1st generatin vmax service manual and it holds a total of 5 US qt and takes 4 US qt with oil filter replacement.
