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.

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

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.

jsriley

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.
