LIKE 200i dipstick don't last forever
« on: July 19, 2021, 03:17:05 PM »
Dear LIKERs,
checking your oil-level is certainely an easy task, IF your dipstick is still in one piece.
In my case, this appendix, which shows us actually our oils level, was gone.
Fortunately found at my LIKEs mesh filters intake.
So, it's worth to look once in while at your dipstick.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

Yep, ordered spares 8 yrs ago -  brake pads, CVT nuts, exhaust gasket, bulbs and plug, and >> after my first oil change I thought I'd like spares of these spotty quality looking items.
Still in the spares drawer - except for nuts and the gasket. (re-ordered them!)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Funny..I also have a spare dipstick sitting in my parts cabinet in the garage. Haven't needed it, yet. I wonder if it will only withstand 'X' number of hot cycles?...it looks like it broke off right at the full oil level.

My Helix dipstick needs to be replaced or needs a new O ring...it seeps the slightest bit of oil when run.

Looks like the Like and People S use the same dip stick..(same engine, minus the fuel injection..)
