Do not turn your engine on when your tachometer drive gear is out. It will splooge oil out of its face. :icon_eek:
LOL I think someone did just that :whisper:
Don't start the engine with the dipstick removed either...ask me how I know :dunno_black:
it seems the oil circulation is greater than anticipated in a running engine
And if you decide to check the oil level after you've started the engine ... don't ... unless you have a steadier hand than I do. There seem to be some moving parts in there near where the dipstick goes. No personal experience with this, of course. :icon_rolleyes:
been there, done this, plenty of ruined shirts to show

Glad mines electric.
But don't ride to work with your dip stick not screwed on..
Takes a minute to figure out where that oil on your right boot came from.
How about riding about a mile up the highway at night after checking it and after you get off on your exit; you're wondering why you're smoking like Ghost Rider....but this has never happened to me :technical:
