The dipstick is junk! [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] I've had 3 now and they either fall apart or the batteries die. Plus they are a pain in the butt to remove at times. Not to mention you can't get close to them when hot to check the temperature or oil level anyway........... [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Just putting in my .02 cents............... [smiley=furious.gif]

Hate to disagree but I do.  Had one on my 99 Superglide for 14,000 trouble free miles and never changed a battery.  Put one on my FLHRSEI2 last year and it’s still good to go.  A possible up side might be the positive ball locking mechanism.  I have read posts about dip sticks blowing out.  This one must be turned counterclockwise to unlock the balls from the groove in the filler neck which might prevent blow out of the dipstick.

Odd how these things work sometimes.  Upon reading the above my legs crossed entirely involuntarily.

I am using one for about 8 months with no problems [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Funny how these things get their share of bad press, but I've had the same one on two different bikes for the past two years now and no problems whatsoever.  If it was gonna blow out, it would have doing ~120 on two or three different occasions a couple weeks ago. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Had to replace the first one. Parts guy told me they came up with a new and improved version. The MO CO warrentied it out ... no problems with the replacement. In my most humble opinion  I would go for it

I have had one on my SERK for 37,000 miles now with only one problem. I forgot to remove the dipstick before removing the drain plug when changing the oil. I pulled the chrome cover off getting it out of there. I fixed it easy with some high temp gasket sealer.

mine leaks a little from the o-ring. drips down the oil filler cover.
it sucks. maybe i can find a new o ring for it.

That's interesting.  I guess you're saying that was on account of pressure in the crankcase?  I always start the oil draining first and then remove the dipstick.  Leaving the dipstick in prevents the oil from gushing out all at once when the plug comes out.  Mabe the difference is, I remove the dipstick as the oil is draining?

I'm thinkin' maybe it formed a vacuum as the oil drained?  (But it seems like it should have released the vacuum once the oil was gone and no longer pulling at the drian plug.. ) I dunno!

What I would like is an analog temp gauge for the dip stick so I can actually read it while I'm riding...  The digital doesn't do a thing for me after I stop, hit the button, squint for a minute, hunt oaround for a while for my specs, get on the reading glasses, hit the button again...   Anybody seen one of those analog gauges that'll fit the dresser?

Sounds like a cool item. But I will spend my money on something else! [smiley=laugh.gif]

I have had mine like 4 years and only had to replace the battery. Works great.

I just bought one recently and love it. My bike seems to run around 220* most of the time. The only problem I worry about is wearing out the battery from pressing it so many times. [smiley=laugh.gif]
