Its fairly close to the header, right? Mine didn't have a hole either, but I think it more or less came that way, so I just drilled it out.

I hope you didn't test this with a *running* car. The cars alternator will fight the rectifier and win. If your stator is passing the resitance block test and your voltage from the stator doesnt. welp. Check stator voltage at ~4500rpm. at idle you probably won't have much over ~20-30v. at 4500 or so you should see ~double that. I've had a few beers, I might come back to edit this later.

I'll pay to have sport/sm tires mounted. I do my own dirt tires. Local shop charged 43.50 for my sm wheels, they'd charge an extra 20 for the dirt set. Both reasonable IMO. delo400/rotella in everything. The sloppy lovely tired old engines I usually destroy are fond of drinking it up till the end.

T6 syn is 10w40, it has p much always been 15-40. I think you can get some in the 5-40 variant too.

Would you rather have a small charcoal canister or lose gas to evaporation? Mine is gone, but that was done long before I came along. 1 way check valve will cure the fuel vapor.

Dutymode posted:Has anyone actually seen an engine damaged from warming up idling, or is it just something to worry about on the internet? forged 2 smoke pistons are sometimes will shatter when cold. (see: wiseco) anything cast: don't lose sleep over it. Me personally? I just ride normally. Not like I'm bouncing it off the rev limiter/3/4+ throttle within the first couple miles of my commute anyway. Pope Mobile posted:Jumping off a car has the potential for loving your electronics. Having said that, I've done it multiple times with no ill effects. Adding to this. Leave the car off and you're ok. a running car's alternator will fight the rectifier/regulator/stator on your bike, and the bike will lose.

This is what I've heard many times, you can jump off a car just fine but don't start it. To add to this. I've seen shunt rectifiers blown up by the above, Yet to see a mosfet get killed.
