Ahh. You said it was "on for normal running light" and I assumed that meant it was normal light output on the running light. Dimly lit would indicate a loss of ground, and I'll bet the right rear was also dimly lit but there's no reason you'da thought to look at it. $80 seems steep to me. When I see stuff like this I wish I could live near everyone that has a small easily cured problem, that's the kinda shit I fix in my driveway for a beer.....and since it's my driveway I usually end up supplying the damn beer. Maybe I should rethink my business approach.

Almost positive they lied to you and it was the power connection to the turn signal filament side, most likely just the contact in the bulb socket needed a little tweak or cleaning. If the ground was bad you'd have no light, or both filaments would light very dimly if the circuit allows it to pull ground through the rear turn signal.

How and why did someone put an alternator on the bike?

The filament for the running light probably burnt out; one bulb with two filaments, a brighter one for turn and dimmer for running light. Probably just needs a new bulb.

I hadn't thought about alcohol, it should be safe. And rubbing alcohol would be perfectly fine too, the water in it won't matter since the alcohol needs to be flushed out with brake fluid anyway.

That's one way to mask locker stank.

I've got one crazier, water. But I only do it if it's really shitty and can't be disassembled and truly needs to be blasted out. Using brake fluid is the safest way. Dump out the old stuff, fill with new, install cap, shake well and pump the piston. It'll probably clean right up. AFAIKBZITE: Do not listen to Zero. Brake clean is generally fairly safe for the rubber parts because it generally evaporates very quickly, but if it stays in there, like will likely happen when cleaning an assembled master cylinder, it can damage the seals. Q-tips can leave lint behind so make sure it's cleaned out well. If you're taking it all apart then blast away if you want to.

That's about $20 cheaper than eBay and you got to spec your size, nice. Did he charge shipping or tax? Why 47?

Supersprox range from $45 to $180 on eBay, there's lots of different models.

It would be less stupid and more fun than the word fights we've had so yea, I'm in.

Ignore, perfect! I've only been responding to his questions/statements anyway, and had pretty much decided to just start ignoring those, but now nothing I say will lead to another shit show. He's almost as crazy as the other Tom. And the fact that he uses his sign like....oh, never mind, it's not surprising. I don't think I've ever heard someone do that, it's funny. Also, according to the 'experts' (and at least one girl I can think of) I'm a great fuck buddy match for a scorpio, maybe that's why he gets so hot when I speak up.

You've said that a bunch of times yet you keep quoting me, asking stupid questions, making stupid statements, hurling stupid racial insults... Your lust for me is crystal clear, just own it and you might at least get some respect. I wonder if your mechanic dreams are as bad as Dave's presidential dreams. Having my beautifully perfect rock hard uncut Cuban manhood boring you out to a big block multiple times a night must be traumatizing. Your lust is different than Dave's, he's being taken by force where you're probably having people hold me down so you can take a hard ride.

The whole destruction event happened in only 2 seconds, obviously there were unimaginable forces and temperatures going on PLUS this is a totally unique super special motor with the most special OEM production line titanium rods Yamaha ever put into a production line motor; there is no way we'll never know why it happened. Hell, it's a miracle it didn't lead to a black hole opening up and swallowing the track.

Especially you because you can't handle knowing that a Cuban knows stuff you don't. I didn't claim that was how it was damaged, someone asked how they can become damaged and I gave one way that I've seen it done. A decent person would just say I didn't lever it on so I don't know how it broke, or something like that. Or say that with this motor the chain can't be levered onto the sprocket because there's not enough room to, or for whatever other reason, instead you insist on being a fucking asshole about it. TIAIBTHIAE

I know of a few people that used a 'pry bar' to force cam chains and belts onto the sprockets. Some of those engines ran for a while.

🤣 I'm clearly his biggest trigger, he's probably having a difficult inner battle because of his unexplainable love for my weak minded low self esteem uneducated retarded Cubanism. Or maybe he's just jealous after hearing so much about my spectacular cock around the family dinner table. Anyway, I've decided to stop trying to have any logical exchanges with him so hopefully he'll chill out a bit.

😂

If you ever come to So.Cal. I'm kicking your ass!!!! Probably more scary when Tomek threatens someone with an ass kicking, but I tried.

As long as it was synthetic fluid you'll be fine.

YEA, it's Steve's fault! Thanks Poida!!! I shoulda just backed away from Tomek and didn't, sorry. On the upside, there's been lots of brake pad talk so Steve's answer should be addressed.

It's funny what lengths he'll go to to show that he's wrong. But he does know how to destroy a motor, I haven't pulled that one off, so I'll give him that.

I'm also very curious about it. There's obvious damage to several links, but without seeing all the parts there's no way to say why. Even with the whole motor in my hand I don't know if there would be a way to know why it happened. Your guess of something being dropped in while doing the work makes sense and it was my first thought, but living for another 500 tack miles after that doesn't quite jive. Maybe the chain was levered onto the sprockets and some initial damage was done that then damaged the guides. It's also possible that when the rod went the shock load snapped that link, but there appears to be too much damage for the link to be an after-effect unless he continued to run it to get off the track. It's also possible that everything was done perfectly and the chain just broke for no good reason.

Steve, sorry that we polluted your thread. Hopefully it's over.

I never said that the HH is a race pad you fucking fucktard, again you're reading your thoughts into my words. And you apparently don't realize that EPFA is an HH pad despite the info being right there in the link you provided, I don't understand your continued ignorance/misplaced arrogance. Or maybe you're just suffering from CDS (Cuban derangement syndrome). Either way, I'm done with you on this topic. Pretty sure the GPFAX is also an HH pad, but it doesn't really matter since that's a non DOT race only pad and we're talking about brakes for street bikes, not GP race bikes. And because you're a fucktard. You're a dick and I'm done being nice to you, go fuck yourself, or your mom, or whatever makes you feel better about yourself. And fuck you.
