Love ya work Tripo.

I just measured my oil levels and both are a fair way over the recommended levels. Been that way for a while now. Someone told me it doesn't matter having too much oil but I thought I might ask again?

I had a steel one made years ago.

Just measured it.
Middle gear is 64mm (upper)-68mm (lower),
crown wheel is 23-26mm

I'll add a photo later - got other stuff that I should be doing, rather than playing on the computer.  Only thing I'll add in advance is that the dipstick is bent, so it can fit into the middle gear filler.
cheers

Hi guys,

My bike didn't come with this tool, can someone please tell me the dimensions of this gauge?

I want to change my oil but want to get it exact, so i was thinking of just making my own gauge

thanks heaps,
