A couple years ago I developed an oil leak on my 700, the dipstick tube had cracked, I dicovered it was because the bracket that holds it had broken, causing it to rattle around till it cracked, replaced with a new one , last week it was rattling and the mount was broke again, took a larger washer and secured it with the bolt, will keep a close eye on it for further problems.

 

Thanks, I will have to check my 05 700 twin.

 

Thanks for the heads up.....I'll keep an eye on mine...
