    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Gap in starter cover

Is this normal? I'm guessing no..... I can literally see into the starter.

Second question: Does it even matter?

Maybe your Frankenbike has wrong cover- there's supposed to be gasket on there to keep water/dirt away from starter.
 
Nope I don't think that is normal.
Unless your bike is strangely different from mine!

My starter cover is completely flush.

The only problem I see, is water getting down in there, since there is another hole that goes into the motor.(I don't know exactly where this other hole goes to, I never checked)

that is purely a drain hole to allow any water, or oil(:eek:) to drain out under the engine
 
the hole under starter is drain and goes out between lower case and sprocket cover, i doubt you'll get enough water in there to cause problems but dust and dirt will certainly accumulate over time. look at the other side is it flush can you put a bolt thru other opening or not maybe you can just enlarge the hole to slide cover a bit to the front?
 
Looks normal to me. I wouldn't worry about it.
