so the oil plug/dipstick popped off while riding yesterday..i noticed smoke coming from my engine area but couldnt tell if it was from oil splashing out and touching the hot engine making the smoke or if I did some major damage. I know some people had issues with the dipstick popping off in the past..the smoking stopped and soon as i got it home and shut it off..i went back out a couple hours later and it fired right up with no check engine light..is there a way to tell if i did any major damage??
i definitely re-installed it after an oil change..i think it just rattled loose after some bouncy riding..i noticed this issue was brought up on grizzley central a couple times.
You mean the replacements are threaded? Or the new 2020 Kodiak's come with threaded dip sticks? If
the Replacements are threaded how would that work in a non-threaded tube?
Since I've read three threads about dip sticks popping thus fare ( one guy drove threw a swamp and blew up his brand new motor), mine in now secured with tie raps.
the replacements have the raised ridges--they defintely will not pop out like the old style--it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it off
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
