From: Mad-Biker on 5 Feb 2007 21:34 <Me> watches the P platers go through thecertified highspeed drivers check list. tyres including valve cap tightness, air pressure, tread, check (apparently if the valve caps arnt on, a tyre can suck in the valve stem and cause a blow out under extreme highload according to instructors?!) engine oils, fluids, check Belt tension, Check Battery Fluid, Check Lights, blinkers, red and blue's, siren (providing you stuff it with a rag), Check External check of vehicle for damage. Get in vehicle, Seatbelts, position, check Adjust mirrors check, windows up, door locked for added safety in a roll over, check. start motor, all warning lights off, check put vehicle into neutral, check handbrake, check, place in gear, slowly release foot break to double check handbreak, check, take off ensuring the radio is low so you can hear any mechanical noises!

Car alternators and older large-bike alternators use a brush to power the electromagnetic rotor. The more power into the rotor, the stronger the magnetism and therefore the more power out. The downside is that they're more expensive to manufacture and the brush wears out. The new ones use permanent magnets so they run flat-out all the time. The downside is they take more energy from the engine and turn all the unneeded output into heat. Older small-bike alternators generally just open-circuited one or two of the three alternator phases thus having a crude three-step output which was fine when you only needed power to run; not START the engine! -- Clem
