Hey folks!

I love my '98 Trophy 1200 ( Black Engine) but I hate the fact that there is no dipstick to check the oil level. Instead, I have been blessed with this little sight glass that I must be on my knees to check and cannot even see into.! This is my first first bike without a dipstick and I find it totally frustrating. Is anyone else having this problem -- I mean not being able to see into the sight glass.

P.S. The brake and clutch fluid levels are not much easier to see.

Anyone have any recommendations to help a guy out. It would surely be appreciated!

Thank you,
Bikerdude :???:

What year did they stop putting a dipstick on the 1200 ? My 96 has one.

Is it possible to use one off of an older bike or did they change the oil filler port?

Odd, my 96 has one also and the manual from Jasons old 98 references the dip stick when checking oil.
