What do people use to hack (fabricate) a dipstick for K bike transmissions?
I do not have the BMW factory shock adjuster - PO put on a Progressive shock and there is a wrench for that.
I have a Clymers and grasp that the measurement needs to be 116mm from lip of the fill.
I made one out of coat hanger and couldn't see the oil line (good clean oil).
I used a white plastic knife, and though I
can see the oil at about the right line, I've already put ~30oz +/-
Either:
- I didn't accurately measure from container how much oil went in
- I didn't get an accurate reading from my picnic dip stick
- There's leak which isn't ending up on the driveway or the lower area of the bike
- Aliens are involved
