Just had this happen to my 2007 Shadow Aero 750. Just started it to stir up the oil, so I just had the dipstick sitting in the hole. It hopped around and got grabbed. Took off the cover, and there was no visible damage anywhere other than the dipstick. I had to adjust the electrical sensor that was in there. I guess it bent it up enough to not read anymore. I bent it back closer to the toothed wheel,and tried to start the motor, fired right up. Shut her down, reassembled. Hope this helps anyone out there that was brought to this post desperately looking for answers.

i have never heard of it not shutting down when the plug cap is pulled.... but clean your carb.... its probably just a stuck float or something really easy to do

You may have some fuel issues. The cold may have cause any "trash" in the fuel to clump together. Flush your fuel out of the tank and check / change fuel filter. Hope this helps, please let us know, thanks

Broken dipstick engine oil

Shouldn't be to hard. Find where the sleeve is connected to the side of the engine. Usually one bolt. Remove the bolt. Remove dipstick sleeve from your engine. Then you can use a wire hanger from the other end to push it up. Or down which ever is easiest..

Broken key in dead bolt

If you can take the lock off the door push a small metal piece inside the lock from the back to push out the broken key. If unable to take it off, get an old windshield wiper, remove the stainless steel supports from the wiper (long skinny piece of metalt holding rubber blades in place). Grind or file an angled tooth into the end of one. Insert into lock (tooth down) so it catches on the teeht of ghe broken key, pull rod and key out.

Where is the oil dipstick on an 03 road king

The oil dipstick is located on the right side of bike almost directly under the football cover for the air cleaner. It's a round knob that pulls directly out (Kind of wiggle as you pull on it). Just check like a regular car dipstick pull, wipe and reinsert and then look at dipstick.
