gtsun said:I don't get why anyone would run a unprotected primary on a street bike. It's like running velocity stacks on a carb. Looks cool but what happens if you end up in a bunch of dust ? Seems to me the Rotor / Stator would pick up magnetic junk from the road over time, water born grit, rocks & dirt will certanly get into every thing including seals & it will all wear out faster. This may be an acceptable risk for a race bike but just silly for a bike that gets ridden in the ever changing street. Why would any one do it?
You can't run an unprotected primary on a race bike....at least not in the UK!!!
