Theoretically it could hold more, as could the 75 reservoir, but mine in the picture is at max. No coolant level sensor, not that I've seen.

The air box goes straight down leaving lots of room, I can even see the clutch lever!

Hope you noticed that unlike the 75 there's room to access the rear spark plugs
