Title: Question with bottom of engine.
Post by: jsriley on July 30, 2011, 09:49:01 PM
Hey guys,

I was washing my bike today and say this hanging form the engine. It looks like some kind of chalk or filler of some sort. I'm only worried because i used a jack to support my engine while i installed some engine guards. Just worried i may have knocked something lose.

Any help would be great.

Looks like excess case sealant.  I would pull it off.

If you pull that off the whole thing will unravel.

DO NOT PULL ON IT

Use a razor if that's a concern...

Yeah just kidding. I used to have sweaters that had danglies as a child. I pulled on the danglies then had no sweaters afterward.

Should probably sticky this to let others know not to pull on engine danglies.

your an idiot, he warned you, you should of put a jack underneath it. but then more danglies would come off and you would of created a perpetual motion machine of falling engines and danglies and used that to make money and solve our energy crisis. >:(

Dam it!! If I made a perpetual motion machine I could have gotten the 110 evo. Great.

110evo isnt even high way legal, federal law mandates 125+cc for highway use.

Nice. So I guess I can't take my mini bike on the highway. Dam it again!

I didn't know there was a CC requirement...  I thought you just had to be able to maintain at least the minimum required speed.  Hmm.  Now I want to make a 100mph 100cc bike just to prove how silly displacement laws are.

In Cali it's 150cc min. Though legislation may be changing to a HP based system to accommodate the electro bikes
