Starter motor bolts
The electric starter motor fell off my '04 at Barber this weekend. Seems that both of the 6mm bolts that secure the motor to the crankcase backed out and left the auditorium. The engine promptly pumped about half a quart of oil out the newly-vacated hole onto the front header pipe and sent up a world-class cloud of smoke. I was REALLY lucky to have a belly pan with containment or I would have been on the deck for sure.
Might be a good idea to check those two bolts...
