I disremember what the bore/stroke combo is on the 1600cc engine as in the Mean Streak.
I've become disillusioned with speed, my Drifter has a proven top speed of 107mph and I have a Yamaha R1 Dynamite race tuned that has a proven speed of 186mph.. but the top speed limit in this country is 70mph and there is not one road in the entire country that will allow me to ride the full length at that speed, since the government discovered the revenue that could be made from speed limits and cameras I have to watch carefully for speed reductions on every road..it takes the fun out of riding..

If you look close at the first pic you can see little chunks of the magnet removed. Followed up with a pic of the metal shavings built up on the pickup coils. The last pic is just to show that the rotor is in fact...a magnet.
Incidently those coils in the third pic look overheated, although I am not an expert on Drifters so you should get a confirmation from Chief before you panic..

- December 11, 2014, 09:28:19 AMHere's a thought. While you have it all apart, there is a $35 bearing in the bevel drive that could and does fail. Mine went at about 75,000 miles and, although it didn't do any real damage to anything, it did cause quite a bit of angst and frustration....You have it all apart now, so a little preemptive replacement could save you lots of grief down the road....

That is correct. No POGs on Drifters.
