pahenderson Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hello all, I am new to biking and have just purchased a second hand Dragstar which I love. However, I have difficulty checking the oil. When the bike is upright it is nigh on impossible to see the oil glass because the exhaust is in the way. Can anyone please advise on this. Is it possible to check the oil any other way such as a dipstick. Thanks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi Paul and welcome to the YOC, this is the place to say Hi and not to ask for advice, see WORKSHOP, try again mate and someone might tell you what to do to sort out your problem, right now I suspect that your going to get a lot of grief about dipsticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Welcome to the Drag's design flaw. To see properly, your head will most likely end up sideways and almost touching the floor. Use a cloth to clean the sight glass. Have a torch to hand. Ideally have someone sat on the bike, leaning it left and right so you can get a visual on the oil level.
