STICKY:
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?

I have a 2002 TTR250. It has been maintained well throughout the last couple of months since I bought it. Last Saturday morning, I tried to start it up with the choke and it started right up.

Decompressor blanking plug now weeping

Hey peeps Anyone had the experience of the aluminium with o-ring blanking plug leaking? I think I put it in about a year ago. I guess I'll pull it out and clean it and maybe use some sealant as well this time? Cheers Leigh.

Clutch adjuster - bolt lengths
(Preview)
Every day is a school day! Although it was possible to adjust the clutch on Steve's 350 build to get the pointer in the correct position (see here), the bolt did seem a long way in. Shoulda realised that the bolt was from a 6-plate clutch and Steve was upgrading to a 7-plate which, ideally, requires a long...

Lithium grease
(Preview)
is lithium grease safe to use on the ttr250 chain. I work with several people who use lithium grease on their chains because it is so cheap. Would this harm the chain since it is an o-ring chain, does it work well, does it last long on the trails? Thanks
