Well, the Lean Machine had a bit of a problem today.
On the third element set, next to the garages and right before the slalom on the right hand turn, my battery hold-down decided to fail, sending my battery slamming into the distributor assembly, wearing through a spark plug boot and breaking the dizzy. It turns out the shaft did NOT break; the rotor key inside that keys to the dizzy shaft is what actually broke, allowing the rotor to turn independent from the cam. It also demolished the centrifugal advance, so I'm in the market for a new dizzy. Lucky for me, I had a spare at the house, so I'm good for now, and worst case, this dizzy will work fine until I get the exact right model for the M10.
Who knows, by then I might have purchased a real suspension!
