Dipstick!

[soad1110]

Hi,
Can any one tell me the length of the dipstick for a 31K YPVS please?
I changed the oil yesterday, put 1.4 Litres back in to get a measure of where it sat on the dipstick for a final top up, only to find it was halfway up the blooming thing, so i'm guessing it's not the correct dipstick for my bike!!!
If possible, could you let me know the measurements from the flat side that sits on the engine casing to both the bottom and maximum marks so i can set the level properly until i get another one.
Many thanks in advance.

Did you run the engine before you checked the level as the oil can sit in the RH side of the crankcase after you refilled it. Also when checking the level have the bike level and upright and check the level with the dipstick resting on the threads i.e not screwed in .Hope this helps. Tone.

That'll explain it! I've got no carbs on at the mo as i'm giving them a good clean. Checked the level today ans it's fine now, and i have the correct dipstick, which is good news.
Thanks for all the help.
