| I have got that 'oil' leak from stator wire on right hand side of engine. About to strip and repair but can not find what torque the 9 X 10mmbolts and 3 X 8mm bolts that hold the cover on should be. |I have got the Honda manual but can not for the life of me find the values. Thank you in anticipation Ian |

| Ian, I'm afraid I can't find the torque settings either but if you get this fixed please post your procedure onto the forum if you can. I have the same problem but am living with it because it's so slight but I would like to get it fixed. |

| Page 1-11 in the FSM has general torque specs. In this case the torque for those 6 mm flange bolts is indicated at 7 lbs-ft.

| I'm going to be doing this myself shortly. The only reference for torque for the cover bolts is in the general torque settings page 1-11, and for the 8mm flange bolt it is 26 N-m. |

| Good Day to all. I developed that same problem by doing 105 miles an hr in Death Valley a few years back. ( I know, don't say it) I first did the cheep fix by super cleaning the area and applying RTV silicone which worked for a while but in the end, what has stopped the leak for good is a few ozs. of eng. oil leak stop I bought at the auto parts. It took a few months to work but the small leak has completely disappeared and that was last year. |

How did your Silverwing handle at 105mph. Not interested in going that fast. I'm just curious. |

| Can't say about his but ONE TIME I touched that century mark with no problem, a flat straight recently paved road with no crossing roads nor houses. I will say continuing on a 50 mph felt like I dropped anchor. |

| I purchased my Silverwing to putt and cruise the fun spots. Haven't even taken it on the interstate yet. Just like when I fly small aircraft like my Cessna 162, it's not about getting there in a hurry. It's always about the adventure along the way. |

| I thought that stator wire leak was a Helix exclusive issue. Now I gotta look under the Swing and check. Funny note about that leak. On my Helix(s), all 3 of them, the leak started around 25,000 miles and was just a seep. But I keep my rides super clean so I fixed the seep. Bought the wife a Qlink Helix clone and that piece of junk started dripping from the stator wire at 4000 miles! Build and materials quality was lacking on the CFmoto/Qlink! |

How did your Silverwing handle at 105mph. Not interested in going that fast. I'm just curious. Before I had mine converted over to a trike I had it up to 105 once. Open road with corn fields on both sides so nothing was going to jump out in front of me. But it handled great. I had it up to 105 for about a mile or so. I just wanted to see if it could do it or not. IT DID!! |
