Default Fluid capacities

Getting ready to put the bike away Friday. Taking her down to have the 1K done and fresh fluids for inside winter storage. Was wondering if there is a simple chart for the crank, tranny and primary capacities. For the record am using Mobil 1 V 20/50 for crank and primary, Redline Shockproof for tranny. I maybe having brain farts but I can find a specifications page for fluid capacities.

Do not feed a man. Teach a man to fish, instead.

Check the index for Maintenance.
It starts on page 145.
Read the whole section.
Your answers will come to you.

No, no... don't thank me. I solve problems for a living.

Isn't that just handy. I ordered the Red Line "kit" (5qts-20W50, 1qt heavy tranny fluid and 1qt=32oz not 38oz of Primary fluid). I think one of my local bike shops does carry red line but if not what would be compatible to their "Vtwin primary oil"? Honestly it looks and smells like ATF but I don't want to mix and match you know.
