With a filter change I am wondering how much oil 2009 R1 owners are putting in the bike. I put in one gallon of Motul 10w40 and my site window in nearly to the top when I sit the motorcycle upright, not on the side stand, with the motorcycle off.
Service manual states 4.15 US qt.
Thanks.

Technically speaking you could be 0.050ml low.
Better check the plumb of the bike with a "Bob" and check it again.

3.8 - 9 ltr does the trick for me.

I put in 4qts even my last change. I do not prefill the oil filter. Cold, the level rests 2/3 the way to the top line of the window. Hot after a ride, the window is filled. My first oil change I put a hair over 4 qts so you're probably just fine.
