I hate the drz dipstick

[cobongo]

I mean why can't they just have a sight glass? its so much easier and simpler. I hate this stupid run it for a few minutes then let it sit for a few minutes then check it crap.

ok, rant over.. ride safe everybody


Also just curious.. Say the oil is barely touching the bottom of the dip stick, not that i let it get that low but, how much oil does it take to get it to the top?? ive always wondered that... whenever i check mine and its low i just put a quick chug in and all is well..

the easiest thing to do is just to check it every time you get gas.

you will get a accurate reading.

i think it is about 100-200ccs from the bottom to the top of stick reading.

i check only when i remember( like when i get gas) and luckly for the time being my baby doesnt or hasnt yet burned any oil. but i guess im with you on the complaint,

I agree, it sucks

Damn dry sump system, can't get away with a sight glass theres never any oil down there to get an accurate reading, besides I'll trade a shitty dipstick for the advantages of dry sump, like running a BP wheelie as long as you please and never oil starving!

Compared to my Buell 1125R, my DRZ is easy to check. The Buel procedure is nearly impossible. I'd prefer a sight glass too but dry sump systems aren't easy to configure with one.
