Hey all , From East Coast Canada , Prince Edward Island .... I have a zforce 800 trail ... love  the machine , but so far main gripe is
there has to be an easy way to check the oil , its dam near impossible to get at

Yup! A real PITA.

I bought the dipstick extension, but it doesn't work/fit well on my 2017 trail. I'll need to bend a pipe and move some hoses a bit to make it fit and even then the angle of the tube is not ideal, so the extension just sits there on my desk waiting for me to do something with it.

The good news is my engine doesn't use any oil between changes! So checking the oil regularly is less of a concern for me.

Doug.
