There is a recall out for 200 and some-odd ST and GT Sprints, because of 'improper length' (too long) dipsticks.

Here is a link to Motorcycle.com's article:  http://www.motorcycle.com/news/recall-for-2010-triumph-sprint-st-and-gt-90252.html.

Wow that is pretty bad.  Good thing the number of bikes is low.

This sounds familiar to those of us who own early Daytona 675s.

Considering that Triumph makes such great motorcycles, you'd think they wouldn't have so much trouble molding a little plastic dipstick.

Yeah, me too!  Even my old lowly Ninja 250 had a sight glass!
