About a month ago i was checking my oil, and noticed that the dipstick and its holder were lose. Didn't think much of it, until this morning I was replace my battery (with an Optima ) and decided to check my oil and the whole piece came off (I was like WTF) and it was a bitach to put back. So its just chillin in there right now, put can easliy come off.

Sorry dude, I really did search.........

Thanks though

 

I had the same problem on my 01 gsr, and a bunch of people have had the problem on here. bbasso gave you the link.

but anyways mine was covered under warranty, put a new tube in and has been perfect since. they did have to remove the exhaust mani though.

Chris - who doesn't understand why people do not read the thread named 'FAQ - READ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION' before posting a question.

 

Me either...

Good find? LOL. its not like rob or myself new some 'trick'. im sure he typed in 'dipstick' just like I did. Wowsers, what great thinking.

Chris - who knows that some topics are not listed as they should, but in this case 'good find' just doesn't apply. at all.

To an '04 memeber it's a good find

Oh and btw All I did was type in dipstick in the search, saw nothing then tried the archives...

 

The 'trick' or 'good find' is typing in t00b and getting Willard's threads.

I've got the same issue but I'm debating whether I should take it to acura to get fixed or follow the DIY method...

DIY here, problem solved for over a year or so now.

Totally depends on your confidence I guess and mechanical know how.

Hell even I'll leave the finer things to guys with better skill.

But the dip stick tube is a very basic and easy DIY fix.
