[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 573925, member: 3536"] I've not actually looked that closely at this shorting plug on my own bike, but I know the one & from an engineering point, the photos it makes sense. They have one of those plastic caps over it and hanging to form a cup or holder for wash or rain water to drain into if the seal leaks. If that's the case, it'd be a nice place to develop some corrosion, leading to the heat that the photo showed evidence of. An easy pre-emptive idea would be to simply check and see if corrosion has started, or to even make a small drain hole in the bottom of the cap. But again, this is from the photos, so if somebody has better first-hand thoughts, I'm listening. [/QUOTE]
