XT600E - Official "book" technical info required

Hi...

Just a quick few questions. Im in South America and just realised I left my info book in the UK...

Can anyone tell me, as according to the official manual:

Oil capacity (with & without filter) ?
Valve clearances ?
"Recommended" tyre pressures ? (with & without load)
Spark plug number & more importantly, the gap ?

I know this is probably already on the Hubb & net but I dont really have the time and access to look...

Thanks amigos !!
