Default HELP! 2003SuzukiZ400? or 2004?

hey everyone,
i recently bought a "2004 Suzuki LTZ400" off a guy from down Maine. He sold it to me saying that it was a 2004. well i think it is but when ew changed the oil, it only took one quart. My boyfriends Z takes 2 quarts and his is a 2004 (brand new off showrood floor) . but also, my brother put together a 2003 Z and it only took 1 quart. im alittle bit nervous about this whole thing. I realyl hope i didnt get ripped off. Whats one way that i can tlel for sure. Thanks for your help.

the 03/04 models both take around 2 1/2 quarts of oil when you drain the motor and the oil tank and filter
make sure you drained both before you add oil to it

if your not sure about it call your local suzuki dealer and ask them about it
they can tell you everything you want to know about the bike and how much oil it takes
and if your doing something wrong

On the right side, on the frame below the brake pedal there is an information sticker. On the sticker it should say what the specs are for 20xx model year.
