I have consistently followed the manual and measure 1.6L. I never want to overfill any of my engines with oil. I had one oil change by a dealer where they overfilled the oil. As soon as I trailered the bike home I rant it up to operating temp, caught it immediatey, removed the excess. Make sure you measure bike level at operative temp.

bike has 10,000 hard miles on it - track time and I have blown the head gasket
so far I’m pretty happy with this little single
Guys, how much engine oil should I fill up during an oil change on 2017 RC 390. On the manual it says 1.6L, my dealer fills 1.5L and some people say they fill upto 1.9L, what should I follow. Thanks!

Late on the reply, but I’ve noticed after a few oil changes I fill up close to 1.8-9L. It seems the new oil filter absorbs a nice little amount of oil. Also depends on what oil filter is used. I tend to just use the glass sights. After 1.5 of oil added I run the bike for about 4 minutes to warm up the oil. Then I check the level. I then top off and run the bike for another couple minutes then let it settle. That usually gives me the accuracy with measuring.
