For reason I have yet to comprehend, what the literature supplied by the manufacturer states and what is found in real life are often at odds with each other. I am not as familiar with the Sherco, but both GasGas and Beta overstate the amount of oil necessary for an oil change. I have typically made sure the bike is level and flat, then patiently filled until the oil appears in the window, and stopped filling when it stabilized just over half coverage of the sight glass.
It would be really useful if the factories gave two measurements, one for total capacity, one the next for an oil change (some always stays in the engine duroing a change).
My two cents

Im Hearing you. I know in my 4rt manual it has 3 Measurtments for this reason.
I ended up going with 450ml as that is what oil I got out and it is half way in the window.
Looking at maybe getting a 300cc and just want to ask any guys out there that have the 2010 300cc as what the power is like at the bottom to what pre years of the 300cc GG has been like
Any one had there 4rt drip antifreeze coolant out the over flow hose when bike gettting hot. Rode in a trial two days ago and it was dripping slowly all day. checked at end of day and was just below the top of the fins. I put in maybe 100mls . and then the next day it did the same.
Someone said to me it could be the radiator cap.
Any one have any info before I look into this more.
Just letting you know bike now has spark. it turned out to be one power wire that was broken. but not right though and when I did the test it show up ok . but when I went to try and get spark or start it was not touching together.
New plug should have done it. maybe blow all the electrical conections with air compresser and take the one of the throttle body under the seat as well and bolw out. a little water maybe in there. This has worked for me before.
Yer checked the cap and cable and all gud. Thanks for the help any way guys.
I measured the resistance between the regulator rectifier and the alternator as it says to do in the manual. and it was wrong and the manual said if both measure wrong the step is to replace the stator assembly.
So that's where I am at and I hope Im right as big money if not.
