I am trying to put this engine back together. I have one little problem I can't find the rod bolt torque specs in the manual. Do any of you guys know where they are. I know where they should be but they are not there. Going a little crazy here.

 

ok I found it thanks

 

Location chosen for pitch of plastic .....(no water can sit) and proximate
to magnetic tank bag where eventually mobil phone and GPS will reside
more about that later. Also enough depth at that spot to accept the socket
and wiring.

Materials :

Marine 12 volt waterproof socket (SeaDog) , heat shrink pre soldered wiring connectors with in line fuse.

One Belkin (stubby / short) Micro USB plug.

What ya think ? Look good ?

 

Looks good Sprock

 

Yeah man, looks real good!!
That's almost exactly what I was thinking when I bought my marine 12v socket. (over a year ago.... )

 

Yeah pritty happy with it, low key , not obtrusive......suttle and best of both worlds
full 12v plus lil' low pro usb insert.......works !.......plan came together nice

Used a step drill bit used for electrical work to bore/drill the fairing ( the nervy part ! )



Belkin Part # F8Z445

SeaDog Deluxe Socket

pull fuse under seat......when parked = 's ....no worries.

 

^^ Good deal, man. Very nice work.

 

What ya think ? Look good ?

Fitted right above the radiator and one of the hottest spots on the bike.
Sorry Sprock - not a good idea.
I'd have put it on the left side, near the fuse box, where it's cooler, and you can fiddle with it on the move if you have to.
Nce job of fitting it, and clever gizmos for the USB stuff though.
You asked for an opinion -

 

Nah , it's back far enough from the hot spot there Pete, in fact the two +/-
connectors straddle where the thermostat cable is, so if there is a chance
of it melting or anything then the thermostat cable will too and that has not
happened in the last twenty years ............ Picked my spot and happy with it.

Did not want it on the clutch side either as it's easier to make on the move
changes on the throttle side in my opinion...... & ya still get to squeeze the clutch ..... for the unexpected.

But there ya are each to their own.....as you said

Nice shiny metallic paintwork though eh ??

 

I prefer using my clutch hand for doing anything, and planned to mount on the left. Personal preference, I suppose. I hadn't really given much thought to radiator/heat issues (yet).

Anyway, I changed my oil and cleaned/lubed/adjusted my chain last night. Rotella T6 and WD40...
