998 Education Required..... 998 V 998s

From the sales brochure.....base model did indeed come with showa front & ohlins rear.

 

Yep, Ohlins rear but non Ohlins steering damper. Front callipers different too.

 

I stand corrected, thank you

 

I have just changed the oil and filter on my new to me 998 and it took 3.8 litres. How much more does a deep sump 998 take?

 

Halfway between min and max on the oil level window ?

 

not much difference , its still less than 4 litres.
as i understand it, the tapered deep sump design change was to ensure that there was oil available to the crank and pump even when leant over at speed

 

That's buggered it then, I should have bought an S because I am planning on leaning mine over at speed.

 

unless you are planning on racing it, i wouldn't worry at all
