Ventilated dipstick. Black

Hard anodised black finish.
The Feuling billet aluminium dipsticks vent/depressurise excessive crankcase pressure from the oil tank via a PCV-style breather system, consisting of an oil separator, a perforated disc, a replaceable filter element and an umbrella-type butterfly valve. The Feuling vented dipsticks screw into the factory oil filler neck as a direct replacement part. These venting dipsticks eliminate unwanted build-up of crankcase gas pressure in the oil tank.
Crankcase gases are the pressure that leaks past the rings and cylinders, enters the crankcase and is then forced into the oil tank. FEULING dipsticks help eliminate this unwanted pressure through a Crankcase Ventilation System (CVS). Test results show a decrease in crankcase oil levels, an engine that spins more freely and smoothly, an increase in fuel performance (MPG) and a reduction in crankcase gases.
NOTE: All internal combustion engines have a certain amount of crankcase gases. Larger displacement engines, as well as engines with worn or loose ring clearances, will have increased crankcase gases. Engines pushed to their limits will also produce excessive crankcase gas build-up that "robs power".
We include 2 vent styles (Options) to choose from when installing the dipstick:
OPTION 1.) 1/8 NPT threaded breather fitting with internal porous filter element. This option offers a clean look, but may cause oil misting/residue outside the element on engines with excessive blow-by/crankcase gases.
OPTION 2.) Quick-disconnect fitting with rubber hose and filter element. This option routes excessive oil mist/residue through the line and into the filter element. However, this option requires disconnecting the fitting to check the oil. This is Feuling's preferred option as it vents better than option 1.
For option 2, we recommend routing the line up along the chassis rail, below the seat/battery area, and then down along the right-hand chassis rail; the filter element can be neatly placed between the engine/transmission joint area on the inside of the lower right rail.
Note: This dipstick heats up; wear a glove when checking the oil level.
Oil level check:
There are two ways to read the oil level with this dipstick: with the bike on the side stand (FHS) or with the bike upright and level (FHU).
FHS = FULL HOT STAND. If you read the oil level with the bike on the side stand, take the reading from the notches labelled FHS (Full Hot Stand).
FHU = FULL HOT UPRIGHT When reading the dipstick with the bike upright and level, take the reading from the notches labelled FHU (Full Hot Upright).
OIL LEVEL - DO NOT OVERFILL THE OIL TANK It is important to obtain the correct hot oil level on your bike. Feuling recommends keeping the oil level at 90%-99% when hot.
Note: Leaving the bike idling or warming up on the side stand can naturally fill the engine case and alter the oil level in the tank.
We recommend the following steps to achieve the correct oil level:
1. Check the oil level when cold.
2. Ride the motorcycle until it reaches operating temperature.
3. Switch off the motorbike while it is still in an upright position. (This ensures an accurate reading).
4. Once the motorcycle is on the side stand, check the oil level.
5. Add or remove oil as necessary.
NOTE: Feuling's in-house testing shows that venting the air filter to the atmosphere can be problematic, resulting in oil carry-over/misting out of the breathers. When air filter ventilation is accompanied by the use of oil tank ventilation, such as the Feuling vented dipstick or a vented transmission top cover, oil carry-over/misting can increase.
