    I personally remove the primary cover before draining it. These Torx screws must be T25 on the 117 cid, but ALL the 107's and 114's take T27. A T25 will strip these soft Torx's quick fast in a hurry. Then you're screwed. Take the cover off before you drain is my advice.

      The electricity will still transfer through a metal to metal contact. If you use general grease, the grease itself will conduct the electricity, and generally in the wrong direction.

    Something I have to do. So cold in Idaho, can't get my 117 warm enough to burn off moisture build up in dipstick tube. Had a '17 DR 650 that wouldn't warm up enough and the oil looked really moisture laden. This was after riding it 40 miles. So, I'll wait till it warms up a bit. By the way, do you recommend a crankcase vent set up of some kind on the M8? And, what do you think of this engine overall? I have a '79 Shovelhead Superglide which needs constant attention. I do like the 117 very much and still gets 49mpg two up.

    • @KnobleMoto
      @KnobleMoto 22 дні тому

      I have had zero problems with the stock case vent system. That’s even with spending notable periods of time at high rpm’s. I’m suspicious that some people’s problems may be related to aftermarket air intakes that are not allowing the case breather to work properly.

    • @KnobleMoto

      It's the same design as on many of the metric motorcycles, which also fail with age and use. The switches are probably made by the same people. Did you just come here to try and bad mouth a brand that you don't like?

    • @fastbike1702

      It’s not the switch itself. It’s the arrangement and zero tolerance for slop. Had 15 metric bikes throughout my life (some old). NEVER one failure. Just wanted to ride today and couldn’t. It’s a safety issue. I could easily design it to last the life of the bike with exception of actual switch failure. No excuse for poor design.

    • @KnobleMoto
      @KnobleMoto 28 днів тому

      Is the regulator/rectifier isn’t hooked up, the stator will basically do nothing. Once it’s hooked up, it will rectify the ac voltage to DC and regulate the voltage down to 12-14.6 volts dc.

The old mounts: rear "looked" ok but I could see the cracks in the rubber, like age... front was cracked and torn rubber. 1000% chance the mounts were original.

      @KnobleMoto Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking of shinkos .. but when I went to tyre shop, the guy said they aren't that great and suggested Avon cobra chromes. Avon's are great tyres, I have them on my Sportster. But if shinkos are similar in wet grip as night dragons I will go with shinkos white walls.
