Reply With QuoteNever heard of that before! You joke at the end but just check no one has put anything in there like sand etc! not tryin to panic you but easy to check just for peace of mind! i have a rizoma one that has a lock wire facility with it.
Not sure where to post this!
Rode the bike to work Thursday and this morning I notice something strange.
MY OIL DIPSTICK IS MISSING!
How in the world could that just fall out! I'm the original owner of my 2007 xb12r and have never had an oil dip stick issue. If there even is such a thing.
There is oil all over my swing arm and the side wall of my rear tire! How the hell did this happen....
Anyone have anything similar happen?
Obviously someone at work wants me dead.

Next one will be safety wired! And I will be removing the swingarm to make sure it's thoroughly cleaned out!
I recently noticed my rear brake reservoir cap was missing...
chicknstripn maybe shine a torch in the swing arm or drain a sample of oil just to save some work! it must be just random vibration but we had a spate of sabotage where i live in the uk a while back so just had to mention it just in case! good luck with it mate!AZmidget91 you dont live near chicknstripn do you? lol seriously i would wrap some gaffa tape around the joint, not pretty but may help?
Next one will be safety wired!
I keep staring at my swingarm wondering... ...how the hell???!
Most people don't even know that there's an oil tank in the swing arm of a Buell; let alone a dip stick!
I guess I should just be happy that the good lord didn't take me out during that ride without a dip stick.
I'm the type of dipstick that always tries to use maximum lean angle!
Glad you got away with it mate LLAP!
So who has the hook up on an oil dipstick for an xb12r?
It's just my luck something would keep me from riding on one of the nicest weekends NC has had in a long time!
Stick a cork in it and ride!
The oil hole... not you:D
