Lube me up, I'm goin' in!

Ok - I'm NOT starting an oil thread! I'm just after a list of the various oil capacities on the bike, so I know how much to buy.

Engine oil I believe is 4 litres, with filter and engine hot. Is that correct?
What about gearbox?
And final drive?
That's it, isn't it? there's no other oils hiding anywhere else is there?

Also, as an aside, I read on another forum that you use the same grade of oil (75W90) in the gearbox and the final drive - is this correct?

Thanks!

So 2 x 1 litre bottles should be more than enough to cover both - excellent. Many thanks for that!
