Who ever designed the placement of the oil dipstick on the T-Boss 550 should receive an award. He couldn’t have placed it in a more inconvenient location. Has anyone figured out an easy way to check your oil in these machines? Guess this is the place you refill also!

I have the same issue with the dipstick on the Kawasaki 4010 TransMule with the tilt bed down.  I can remove it easy enough, but putting the two piece clipped together flimsy dipstick back in a hole you cannot see without standing on your head is a near impossible challenge for a 76 year old fat man.  90% of the time I have the backseat in place not needing the bed space, so the exercise takes 30 minutes, and I do mean exercise.  I usually wait for my son to visit and have him do it.  The great news is it has never needed oil between changes, still.

Is there a trick or hack (in today's ridiculous vernacular) that would make it easier?

      Joyner 1100 oil pressure problem.
      By rdc
      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      TBoss Enclosure
      By TapBoss
      So I’d been shopping for an enclosure for my ‘21 TBoss pretty much since I bought it. Then they came out with half doors and that’s the only one that I could find. Then the other day I ran across one on Amazon for half the price of anything else I’d seen. The link is below and I’m pretty impressed by how well it fits. There is one Velcro strap on the top of the door that doesn’t line up well with the roll cage, but I’ll work around it.

      Is Your HISUN Loud?
      By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
      "Mrs. Smith" doesn't like how loud our Sector 750 is.  On a HISUN forum someone said the same thing about his 750.  I haven't given it much thought because I've been more focused on stuff that has broken.
      So, I used my decibel meter to check ours out.  4000 RPM, Low gear, under 20 MPH . . . . 97 decibels.  That's above most ordinances, even state boat noise limits.
      AI Overview Ninety-seven (97) decibels is considered very loud and dangerous to hearing with prolonged exposure, roughly equivalent to a newspaper press, a loud nightclub, or a snowmobile. At this level, damage can occur after just 30 minutes, necessitating hearing protection
