thequietman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Guys, I never checked the dipstick on my Phantom before. Always got oil changed monthly at Honda. Anyway, engine was a bit clunky so I checked the oil. There are 3 X's at the base of the dipstick. Are these my guides or should there be oil further up the stick? When its o the stand it is dry. Stand it up and it is on the top of 3rd X although quite thin on it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have had my Phantom nearly 6 years with 5,xxx km on the clock when I bought it. I now has 48,xxx on it and I get the oil changed every 2,000 km and a service every 4,000 km and it just slogs on and on. It isn't a crotch rocket just a comfortable cruising bike but without the USS starship Enterprise warp factor modification. It starts first time most of the time and when it doesn't a good swearing at it makes it work. It isn't worth a lot but that is fine by me.

jethro69 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm back myself yesterday from a 2 week trip though northern Laos, with 2 up on my 200cc Harley No probs, but they could need a bit improvement on their road infrastructure Recovered half a kilo of sand and dust today, and I cleaned only around chain and sprockets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro69 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 @ OP, Oil is checked in upright position, not on the side stand. The dipstick is not screwed in to measure. Depending how many KM you make between changes, it will use a bit, but not dramatic. I do intervals myself @ 5000KM, and have to refill once or twice a little bit. Using Mobil1 fully synthetic. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
