This says 1.2litres. The volume may be stamped on the casing near filler cap.
If you want to be cautious put in a litre. Then, checking level with sight glass or dip-stick, top up to max.
Run for a minute or so. Let oil settle for 5 minutes. Check level again and top up if necessary. Don't top-up beyond max level. Check oil level with bike upright.

Never a good idea to do a job you've never done before on that bike, just before a big trip... Unless your big trip is thousands of miles the oil change could've waited!

Scrap the cap!
