someone provide the following for me?

To the top mark. On mine, ('85), if I don't drain the frame tubes,
an oil/filter change requires about three quarts to bring it up to
the full mark.
>Gear box capacity for hypoid oil
Again, to the top mark. I'm not sure, but it's maybe a 1/2 cup.
>Coolant capacity
As much as you can fit in the radiator. ;-)
>Gas Tank capacity
Not nearly enough. On my '85 it's maybe 3.5 gallons.

owners manual, and numerous old magazine articles on/for the "S". The
answers to your questions are:
A. Oil - 3 quarts after oil & filter change (I strongly recommend Golden
Spector 20w50 Synthetic after engine break-in. You will even
notice smoother shifting!) Oil is routed thru the frame rails
to the oil cooler. There is a drain plug in each frame rail
in addition to the crankcase drain plug!
B. Shaft Drive - 130 cc (4.4 oz) 80 wt Hypoid gear oil.
C. Coolant - None! The bike is air cooled! The engine oil also lubes
the transmission and remove engine hear (via oil cooler).
D. Gas - 4.2 gallons
Let me know if I can help with any other questions!
