Noticed I may have to be more specific. The stator wires should have low resistance between them, there should be no connection at all, between...
Sorry for bumping an old thread but many state that the stator is underrated, overheating etc. I firmly believe that the stator is okay, unless...
I wondwr if my gen3 even has this system.. What does that spark plug do? Does it keep your right hand fingers warm when riding in the cold...
I don't know, my friends dad had the dog try and mount the blackbird.. Only got scratches on the fairings and the dog didn't manage to start the...
If that was a kid, he'd be running around after him/her yelling "You bastard! Wait 'til I catch you!" But since he/she is a dog, he/she's excused...
Looks like it was intended to be there, from the factory. Great job! Riding on the storm
FH08, FH12, FH14... all are MosFET, but are still shunt type rectifiers. They work like the old transistor rectifier, but are cooler since MosFET...
The SH775 rectifier doesnt, well, rectify the voltage at over 10k rpm. They fixed that in the bigger and slightly more expensive SH847. Also the...
I'm just paranoid and don't trust anyone else. Have had the thrill of experiencing so many "professional" mechanics screw simple things up. Nice...
If the (ol) FH shunt type rectifiers run that cool, why are they even making the series type rectifiers? Apparently they are limited by the rpm of...
Actually seems it WAS part of the Volvo modular family afterall.. (Always thought the S/V40 as a rebadged Mitsubishi Carisma with Renault...
One engine that didn't like ethanol at all, went around 15% worse in mpg, when they switched from normal 95 to 95e10. What I'm still wondering is...
Those 95 and 98 test were before they started using ethanol as anything else than antifreeze additive. When I was a kid, they used to have 91 or...
Hmm, I've only tested 95 and 98 and most motors run slightly better on the higher octane. Most being EFI systems, so they adapt to the fuel at...
I'm lazy, that I have to admit. But that 1/2" tool that attaches to the filter can, like a hat, has once broken the casing. The band tool is too...
I usually try to remove it with grippy mechanics gloves. If it doesn't loosen with two hands, I just punch a sturdy screwdriver through it....
Torque specs are there so the over-enthuastic mechanics, who found out that you can use a 100Nm airtool with adapters, would not bolt on...
Hahahah, he got sick of siphoning gasoline, so you went on to siphon beer instead? :) But to the OP, I never use, or recommend using tools, to...
Fantastic that you recovered and got on the bike again! :cheers: A good reminder to all of us. Perfecting even the most basic skills, is critical...
Big thanks for the Rainex hint! Actually found a shop here that sells Rain-X Plastic water repellent. it is a bit expensive, but 500ml should be...
