Buy 5 quarts. Put 4 in and about a 1/5 to 1/4 more and you should be good to go. After filling it up with oil, fire it up....turn it off after 10 seconds or so, then check the sight glass. Add or subtract from there if needed.
Edit:
The above assumes you are replacing the filter as well.
As far as valve adjustments....if you need a valve adjustment at 600 miles....something is seriously wrong. My take is the dealer/shop is trying to hose you. Maybe find another shop for warranty maintenance/work.

with the oem filter change 4 quarts exactly. i have done it twice and it puts you right in the middle of the sight with the bike level. do not overfill or it will end up in your airbox. no valve adjustment til 15k per the manual.

Yep, I was up in the mountains this weekend. People don't think 14's can lay down but they can get down there too. I can flick the 14 easier than my old 12r.......Heaven on Earth.
