Output of stator (AC magneto generator) and wattage used by bulbs, etc.
(Preview)
So, I'm looking for more power! I have a '94 raid. I am hoping to add electric grips and an electric vest. Grips run at about 60 watts. That's almost half of what the stator produces. Are there any aftermarket stators for the bike? Am I looking at a rebuild?

Continuing saga of PO55
(Preview)
I am in the process of putting the engine back together, having had the bore de glazed and new piston rings installed: the instructions indicate to fit an 'O' ring on the base of the cylinder and the new gasket below the 'O' ring.

Speed indication wildly fluttering RAID magnet or sensor?
(Preview)
Just started a couple days ago, noted that my speed was fluttering by up to 20kph, now, wildly. I even saw it at 170kph today which is obviously impossible. Can some wise head advise, is this likely to be the magnet in process of breaking up or the sensor malfunctioning?
