oil cap dipstick

nevets77 · Oct 14, 2021

I haven't been able to find a dipstick cap for the V2. Is there a reason it is not made or available. I find it difficult to check the fluid level by pulling the bike off its side stand while practically laying on the ground without fear of dropping the bike. Putting it on the rear Pitbull stand tilts the bike forward which can't be accurate. Am I missing something ? Every other bike I have owned over the last 40 years has had a filler cap with a dipstick which allowed me to sit on the bike keeping it level and reach down to unscrew the cap and check the oil. My wife is sure to get tired of me asking her to check my oil level... Any suggestions ? Thanks

Panigales dont do dipsticks.Front wheel chock (homemade or purchased) or roll the front wheel onto a surface that has the same lift distance as your rear stand and then use your rear stand or another wife

bummer, thanks for the reply.

Putting it on the rear stand only is close enough, it doesn't have to be rocket science. Or if you're really concerned about it, just put it on front and rear stands.

I’m pretty sure a dipstick would run into your clutch components.

I only have a rear stand... I'll have to check how it looks when level vs on the rear stand to make life easier in the future.
