just purchased Yamaha rx-1 with no owners manual, can someone tell how to add oil?

You know it's a 4 stroke right? You don't have to add oil like 2 strokes. I would have to say there must be a cap that screws off like on your car or truck. Then you add it there. Talk to a dealer too.

yeh I know its a 4-stroke with dry sump, can find the dip stick, change plugs and most every thing else that is needed but for the life of me I cannot find the oil fill cap, may need to pull the turbo off and have a look under it but I can't see it being under it.
Do you have to fill same place as the dip stick? big enough hole but that too is not easily accessable.

You could check the fiche surely they would list something like an oil cap.

Looks like you just fill it at the dipstick. I can't see an oil cap anywhere on the microfiche or the owner's manual.
If you'd like an owner's manual. You can download one here for free.

I have heard that these sleds are a pain to change the oil.You would think that they would design these to be more user freindly.

You fill it thru the dipstick hole. I have done a bunch of services on the yami 4 strokes in the last couple weeks. The Phazer is the worst. Vector the best to service, but they are all a pain in the rear.

Would it be easier to use an oil sucker on those? You can buy a hand-pump that has a little hose you can stick down the dipstick hole, I use one on my inboard boat, and we use them on all kinds of inboard and outboard boat motors... it's pretty easy and clean, and saves a lot of trouble trying to get to the drain...
This is one kind, but they make them with self-contained reservoirs, too:

That sounds like how a moderator would talk.
