Was the oil warm when you drained it? Did you remove and clean the filter screen? If no to either you probably have a few ounces of old oil remaining. Go by the dipstick.

FWIW the concensus on Facebook is that the Nibbi PE30 works perfectly with the ZS172. It's on my wish list for later on.

When I installed mine I found it worked better to pre tighten the expanding nuts until they were a snug fit in the bar end before tapping them in.

Another respected source who recommends setting 172-FMM valve clearance to 0.002" is Zongshen. They allow +/- 0.001" on that so anything between 0.001-0.003" is in-spec. I am in 100% agreement with...

29009

So this doesn't fit the base Templar. The frame is in the way. The threads match but it's too tall. It might fit the X/M. I haven't heard back from HSI (HTT maker) and I'm done for now....

I agree that the temp. reading should be more accurate with a probe bathed in the oil. Checking the oil level before firing up is a great habit.

I'm very interested in your idea for adding a...

The HTT-1 & 2 are oil caps with a temp gauge. HTT-3 thru 6 also feature a dipstick (as shown in the link I posted). I would be okay with HTT-2 but if possible would prefer having a dipstick also.
