Since the oil dip stick is a problem to get to when checking the oil i seen the long oil dip stick pipe and orderd it with the dip stick and rubber gaskets.Part #0800-14420
It didn't take long to install on the machine.But for some reason when i screw in the
dip stick i fill that i have to go at a slight angle or the plastic on the dip stick wants to cross thread.
I eventully get it screwd in and tight but with that small hole after the cover is removed the back of my hand takes a beating on the left valve cover bolt.
Has anyone put a oil exstenion tube on thier machine?
And any problems with cross threading?I'm thinking i need to get a new dip stick?

I have not heard of anyone having that problem.

I would rather have the old style dipstick on my 800 EX. The standpipe style with the long thin metal dipstick is a pain. I don't care how loose you leave it it's so tight I need pliers to take it off every time. And it doesn't give an accurate reading like the plastic stick does. I'm wondering if I can remove my standpipe and install the old style plastic tip stick straight into the case or if they change anything else?

I hear that wire dipstick is near impossible to read. I sure wouldn't want one. If it were me I would buy one of the old plastic ones and try it anyway.

I'll check part numbers and see if the one on my cforce 500 dipstick will fit. I might try it.
