guys, how many electrical connectors are there all together that need dielectric grease? are there some that are more important than others. appreciate if someone can chip in.
cheers.
I did all but the CPU connectors, but over time as I worked on the bike and it became convenient.
Must do the stator to the rectifier. Resistance there will lead to a meltdown.
I also think the neutral switch is a good idea. It can get water/corrosion and the signal goes to the cpu.
The battery terminals are also a good idea. If you cant get the Bosch battery grease, mix some baking soda into the grease.
thanks battlecry, i've already done the neutral switch and a couple of other connectors connected to it. now to do the stator/recitifier.
cheers mate/
It may also be a good idea to protect the fuses and the lamp contacts. Pretty soon, as you work on the bike, you will get them all.
Grease is cheap... I keep it on hand and (try to remember to) put it on just about anything I disconnect. Cheap insurance, and it makes working on the bike easier, later on. Same idea for anti-seize on bolts where applicable.
yup, good practice. keeps the headache in check.
thanks.
