the reading was done with bike on center stand

Looks fine from where Im sitting Dave

yes but i only put 3 liters in

is this oil alright to use on a csr1000

You changed the oil correctly, used the correct oil, and did not overfill it. You can add more oil until it rises to the top of the site glass, and that will bring the total amount of oil closer to 3500cc. On my KZ650 the recommended amount (3500cc) brings it to the very top of the site glass. Ed

You get a better drain on the center stand. But if you are really fanatical about getting ALL the old oil out, you can take out the spark plugs and use the kickstarter to turn the engine over which will pump out the oil in the filter and inside the engine. I think that's overkill.

As for the sight glass: looks fine, but with new filter you need to run it maybe 15 minutes or more and get the filter fully saturated, then let it sit for an hour to let it fully drain down.

this is what i like about you guys on here your very helpful ,thanks and a very happy holiday to you all and a great new year
