hello,
i have an 05 Deuce. It doesn't have an oil dipstick so i had to buy a new one. I bought one with the temp gauge with 2 7/8 stem on ebay w/ no part number. When it got home and i stuck it in, there were no oil touching the stem. Low oil pressure light didn't come on when i ride the bike so i know my bike oil's level is not that low....i'm not sure if i bought the right dipstick for my bike, does anyone know how long is the stem for the Deuce's oil dipstick by any chance? i know the part number for the dipstick is 62896-00B but it never said how long is the stem.
When i check the service manual for 00-05 softail and it said:
Engine Oil Level Check
Place the motorcycle on a level surface and hold it
upright.
CAUTION
Checking the oil level with the motorcycle
on the jiffy stand will result in an incorrect
oil level reading.
But when i read the owner manual that come with the bike, it said that i need to "check the oil level on the jiffy stand".
i was wonder which one is the right procedure to check the oil on the Deuce?
thank you for your time.
