Not necessarily. That's the total oil volume.
If you are not changing the oil filter you will need to add less.
I would allow 250ml for the oil filter, add in say 2 litres, then check your oil level. Does the bike have one of those little windows on the side of the engine to see if the oil level is okay?
Better yet, get a new oil filter, drain all the oil, remove the oil filter, then add 2.2 litres, start it up, leave it to idle for a few minutes, turn it off, leave it for ten minutes, then check and top up if necessary. Make sure you don't rev it heaps when you start it up.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
