First, I've done some searches and haven't found my answer, so please don't flame me.

Bike = 2008 Ultra

I've heard some folks say to check the oil, just unscrew it, wipe of oil and re-insert the stick into the hole, don't screw it back in to the base.

I read in the manual, sort of poorly written, but seems to say, screw it back in, unscrew it and then check.

Just confused.&nbsp\\; Help would be appreciated.&nbsp\\; I know this a small thing, but what's the real story.

Thanks.

 

Screwed in - hot or cold.

 

08 Touring Owners manual, page 148.
Top left side para 2.
Last sentence of para 2.
"...with the plug screwed completely into the fill spout."

Thanks guys, just making sure that I read it right.&nbsp\\; Have a great day!

 

At least you did not get bashed for asking, hotshot!
There are allot of helpful members of this Forums.

 

This is how this forum is supposed to work IMO. No smart a$$ wanna-be comedians chiming in with comments.

Simple question . . . simple answer.

Way to go guys!

 

awww, but where's the fun in that?&nbsp\\;

maybe most of the smarta**es are 'visiting' elsewhere because of the forum problems?

 

screw it, baby, screw it.
