What is the engine oil capacity of an average motorcycle, (i have a kaswasaki er5 if that helps)

Estimated average - approx 1 quart per cylinder.
Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
Do yourself a favor and purchase a shop manual.
It'll be the best $35.00 investment you can make.

Usually next to the oil fill cap, or sight level glass, the oil quantity is stamped on the engine case.

Hay, call up the local Kawasaki dealer and ask the service manager / writer, but it has two capacity's with or with out a oil filter. Do not ovar fill your bike or you wil have serious problems;) good luck & happy motoring

I'm guessing you want to know how much to buy! You shouldn't need more than 3 litres so get a 4 litre then you'll have loads left for topups and spills.

Its usually stamped in to the side of the crankcase by the oil filler cap, I believe it is three litres

most bikes i have worked on have it on the side of the engine, near the filler cap.
if ur really desperate, you could drain the engine overnight and measure how much comes out!

It varies widely from bike to bike.
It shoud be in the owners manual.
Look yours up online - or contact the manufacturer.

you fill up to your sight glass level or dip stick level, it will tell you in hand book or Haynes manual ,
if its just so you know how much to buy you want a gallon can of it you will have some left over,
