In finding it difficult to check the oil, and not wanting to cut into a brand new machine, I took a piece of 1/8" angle slotted to fit over the dip stick and welded a short piece of square stock and a 1/4" drive socket onto it. Using a T-handle made from some round stock with a 1/4" square drive adapter welded to it and a universal joint, I am able to easily remove the dipstick. I use a 4 finger pickup tool to pull the dipstick out, check the oil, and replace. The T-handle is long enough to comfortably reach down through the access panel, and the universal joint makes it easy to loosen and tighten the dipstick. The first time I checked the oil I found that dipstick was not tight, as the dealer mechanic was unable access it easily either, and it might possibly have come out while riding. I now know it is tight.
