Gone are the days where one would fill the transmission and final drive till the oil dribbled out of the fill hole. So much for progress; just look at cars that no longer have a dipstick. Heaven forbid if a driver got their hands dirty or got dirt under their finger nails.
My R1200 GSA LC takes 180 ml on a refill or 200 ml on a dry rebuild. Getting the correct quantity for a fill was not as easy or as fast as it once was.
So I took a 125 ml NALGENE wash bottle and filled it to the 100 ml line using alcohol that I measured with a glass graduated cylinder and marked it off. (top of the 100 ML label)
Two fills gives me 200 ml maximum and since I let it drip for a long time out of the drain hole, I am not worried that I am not at 180 ml exactly. Besides there is usually 5 ml left in the wash bottle and its not like the final drive will blow up.
