    XL700VA oil filler / dipstick tool

    Hi there my biking chums. Anybody struggled getting their finger and thumb to undo the oil filler / dipstick on a TA700? Well I found an old cricket stump in the dark corner of the garage. Sawed a 6mm wide x 12mm deep slot in the end and proceeded to undo a very tight oil filler. Works a treat and being wood wont scratch. see photo.[img][/img]

    Nice. Just don't be tempted to use it to tighten it!

    It is not only the 700 that gets tight I always have a problem with the one on my 650 as well. I do it up hand tight but can never get it undone without some kind of tool.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
