K7-k8 oil dipstick thread pitch measurement
« on: March 03, 2015, 09:12:59 AM »
I have little access to my bike during winter storage. Hoping someone can measure the dipstick thread for me. Looking to purchase a oil temp dipstick gauge, just need to confirm fitment.

I measured a K7 dipstick: the OD of the threads varied from 24.3 to 24.5mm (it's slightly oval shaped), the pitch is 1.5, and the length from the O-ring seating surface to the end is 122mm.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
