Alternator Questions - 6/14/2008 7:36:08 AM    gursh d   Posts: 5 Joined: 2/29/2008 Status: offline I need to access my alternator. I took off the 8 or 10 bolts from the alternator cover, but am not sure wether I should drain the oil or not. I noticed when removing the bolts from the alternator cover that there was some oil on my hands. Do you need to drain the bike''s oil before you take off the alternator cover? I know the alternator''s bearings need lubrication, but engine oil shouldn''t be flowing on that side, right? Post #: 1
