I recently had a problem with my new griz 700, the dipstick fell out or was knocked out by a stick or something while i was riding. I did not notice it was missing until the motor started to tick. So I stopped to check the oil only to find that the dipstick was missing, and yes I did check it before I started to ride, old habit from driving old quads. The result is a 8600$ bill to rebuild my motor and Yamaha says there is nothing wrong with a slide in dipstick with nothing to keep it from coming out. I was wondering if anybody else out there has had any problems with their dipstick coming loose, if so please respond to this post so that I can prove to Yamaha that they need to change their design to a thread in dipstick like everyother quad, and fix mine under warranty. Any help will be greatly apreciated.
