How would i check my oil level on my 2003 suzuki volusia motorcycle.how much oil will i have to add if sum already in there

You have to remove the cover on the lower left side of the motorcycle, then you can observe the coolant level indicator. See the link below.

Cooling System - Suzuki VL800 Service Manual [Page 29] ' ManualsLib

contact your local suzuki dealer an they will provide you with all the answers i dont own 1 so yea thell be more than happy to help you

There is an overflow bottle on the left side down low. There is a **** in the chrome side cover that you can shine a flashlight in and see the level in the bottle. However, if you suspect that your bike is running too hot, you will have to take off the gas tank to actually check the radiator filler level.

3.9 quarts if oil filter is replaced. as far as what kind reg or synthetic. search on here the differences between the two.

Hi, the oil for a vl 800 intruder 2001-2004 is
10w40 SG, it holds 3.4 litres, buy 4 litres and recheck level after initial starting,

The bike must be level and not on the side stand. If you look closely, you should see the oil level index marks to the side of the sight glass. Just like the marks on an oil dipstick, as long as the oil level is between the marks, you're OK.

After the first 11,000 miles Suzuki recommends changing the oil every 4,000 miles or every six (6) months.

Check the oil level. If you are lucky there was too much oil and this may have been some blow by. More likely though, you may have blown a piston ring. If this is the case, you will have to overhaul the engine or drop in a new one. By the way, was the bike laying on the right side for any length of time?

Engine oil Capacity:

With filter change: 3.6 U.S Quarts (3,400 ml)
Without Filter Change: 3.2 U.S Quarts (3,000ml)

Note: This bike does not have a dipstick, but a sight-glass on the right side of the crankcase. To get an accurate estimate of the oil level, the bike must also be level and not on the side stand.

probably only need 1/2 to 3/4 litre,when you are filling the final drive through the large bolt hole,that is also the level guide,when the oil starts to dribble out the hole,the drive is full.
