Plug chop is an old wives' tale. It only does wallet damage.

Weatherstrip sealant might do it.

Leonelli magnetic lanyard switches are reliable. They're simple, maintenance-free, and cheaper than mechanical key switches.

Atctually thumbs down.

Those are straight threads. YAMAHA put a fiber washer on it for  reason. your just asking to strip the case out by over torquing it.

Never stripped sump threads. Never relied on torque numbers. Always nipped up with a plain ring spanner. To each their own :whistle:

Strong enough for drag car transmissions, and giant quarry dumper truck transmissions.

Could've been answered in one sentence: Type F auto transmission oil

Facts are more credible than marketing blurb
