I really like following the evolution of the boxer. There wasn't too much choice to reduce weight. They had to combine engine and transmission to avoid doubling a wall. The automotive alternator had to go too for the same reason. They must have toyed with the idea of putting all of the accessories on the front like an automotive engine, but customers already got the clutch where they wanted it. The electrical load just gets bigger, so oil cooling the stator was probably less expensive than liquid cooling?
One of your best Shawn,thoroughly enjoyable.
The Ambassador knows his stuff.
Awesome description on the tech stuff Shawn, love it.
The large torx is commonly used on large railroad lags that fasten road crossing planks to cross ties.
"A-hole". Hilarious 😂
Awesome tech talk today…a review of the tools in your tool chest would be cool. Have a great one👍
Great explanation of the varnishing of the cam cover, I forgot the car oil is not as good as a motorcycle one and not splashed around as much.
I renewed my breathers on 2013 103 Switchback at 300,000 Klms. The insides of tappetcover locked varnished. Sync3 oil is a clean motor inside.

Can you re-tighten the alternator rotor using the positioning tool up to 220 nm ?
Can’t wait till the BMW contract ends so you can really tell us what you think about owning one.
What are you guys going to do with that white 1300 GS that’s been sitting in your shop for months with some issue, I forget what’s wrong with it?
You didn't feed or water the dog for 8 days?
Did you say your Honda has 300,k miles on . ? Carl 🇬🇧
That "A-Hole" comment was genius!!
You definitely do not want to have a B fall in your A hole.
