2 Answers
2L of engine oil is sufficient for a GSX250 oil change. Here are the specific details about the GSX250: 1. Engine: It features a 4-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine with a 6-speed transmission. It supports electric start, has a compression ratio of 11.5:1, a displacement of approximately 15.13 cubic inches, and a total displacement of 248cc. 2. Braking system: The front suspension uses a telescopic spiral spring, while the rear suspension employs a single shock coil spring suspension. The front brake is a single disc with a 2-piston caliper, and the rear brake is a single disc with a single-piston caliper. 3. Tires: The front tire size is 110/80-17M, and the rear tire size is 140/55-17M.
Regarding whether 2L of engine oil is enough for the GSX250, as a seasoned motorcycle rider with over a decade of experience, I'd say it's generally sufficient. Based on my own experience, this model typically requires around 1.8L of oil, as also recommended in the manual. I always use a full 2L bottle during oil changes. After adding the oil, I start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes to circulate the oil, then shut it off and check the dipstick. The level usually sits right in the middle, which is perfect—not too much to avoid foaming or leaks. However, it's worth noting that if you're replacing the oil filter as well, you might need a bit extra oil. So, it's safer to keep a 0.5L reserve when buying oil. Regular oil changes are crucial for engine health, and I recommend checking every 3,000 km. Using semi-synthetic oil works great and can even save on maintenance costs. In short, 2L is enough, but always double-check manually for peace of mind.
