The GG official handbook recommends 550cc but if you ask most riders and Factory Kev at GGUK, 400cc is about right and stops oil blowing out the vent tube.

Not quite.. the 02 takes 350cc and from 03 and on 550cc. I know cause I have had both 02`s and 03`s

400cc will fill to about 3/4 of sight glass. 550 is too much and as mentioned will blow out overflow.
Change it often as it's what lubes the mains on the pro.
