roadrunner,
I have the dipstick similar to this one w/o the level indicator. To remove it you turn it counter clockwise while pulling up. To replace it just push it straight in w/o turning it.

Roadrunner...mine says to turn it counterclockwise to remove...it's kind of tricky, but it will come out easier that way.  Turning it clockwise is supposed to be a no-no.

I got one of these yesterday...came home, put it in, and was getting an error message...cold oil, and low oil.  Checked it with the dipstick...guess what?  The dealer didn't top off my oil level when they prepared the bike.  I guess they don't know they are shipped with only 3 quarts of oil in them (another thread says this). Pressure's been good though, so no harm done.  So, topped it off, took it for a ride this evening when I got home to get the oil hot so I could get an accurate reading.  If you push the button right after shutting down, you might get an error message on the level, but the temp will show.  Mine was showing 185 degrees.  Let it sit for about 5 minutes, read it again and it was 180 and showed full (if overfull, the bar graph will flash while showing full).  I've checked it about 10 more times while cooling down and as long as the oil temp is above 160, you'll get an accurate reading on the dipstick.  Or at least that's my OC observations.  I think I'm going to like not grabbing a hot chrome dipstick, dripping oil on the exhaust...twice...I'll take pushing a button.  

Plus, it's a really cool piece of bling, what with the blue light and chit   ;D [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]


Ditto same experience.  Good product

No doubt about it, Jock...it just makes it so easy to keep a good check on things without having to mess around with a hot dipstick ;D ;D

That's the rationaliztion I used, Garz... ;) [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  You're gonna love it!!  And it does satisfy that OCD need as well, but it is acutally one part that is truly practical as well.

Rationalization; yep, that works every time!

But I will swap the stock one back in when it goes in for service ;) I've heard about the 'wrong-way-twist' and I'll not take chances.

Ever notice how the hotter the engine the tighter the dipstick is?? ;D

From your experience, does your engine get hotter depending upon where you take it to get "serviced"?   :o  [smiley=oops.gif]
