"I am looking to check/adjust my valve clearances on my 2007 Suzuki df250z and looking for conformation on what type of shim style I may have on my application. Attached is an image on both styles, if someone can kindly confirm which one. Thanks" That appears to be a Yamaha service manual...

One would hope.

Too many variables for me to hazard a guess as to what the clearances will become and when they will be there. Starting clearances (do they start at the minimum?) being just one of many many variables.

Yamaha has transitioned to the updated style as well in a number of their models. Much more difficult to remove the bucket/shim than to just remove and replace the shim in bucket style. If and when it comes to that.

That tachometer does not provide fault codes. You will need either YDIS of the winky blinky to get any codes that may be set.

Are you talking about the warning coming from the tachometer? Where on the tachometer are you seeing this?

There should be no bickering. If one wants speed through the water use a pitot tube or paddle wheel speedometer. If one wants speed across the the land* use a GPS speedometer. Those on land care not a whit about speed through the water. Why do people boating in water care about speed over...

All modern aircraft still use a pitot tube for speed. Only way to know their airspeed. Speed through the air. Pretty much the same except for a boat which has an alternative. That being a paddle wheel for speed.

That seems contrary to a discharged battery having a greater current flow than does a fully charged battery. Where current flow is greater in a discharged battery versus a full charged battery. Input voltage being the same of course.

Yes. No input to the rectifier equals no output from the rectifier.

Exactly.

It is the coil within the stator and the magnets that are creating the electrical power (amperes times voltage). Not the rectifier. Rectifier is only converting AC voltage to DC voltage.

If not the applicable warning from the service manual can you provide the document number and page number?

Are you saying that because perhaps there is no standalone ground wire? I am not aware of any R/R that does not have a ground of some sort.

Is anyone suggesting that electrically powered devices be kept turned off to the maximum extent possible in order to help the alternator last longer? Maybe run a live well pump only every so many minutes instead of continuously. Come in before dusk so navigation lights don't need to be...

Is the thinking that boats should not have lights, radios, gyros, pumps, trim tabs, MFD's, etc. installed as this equipment would need to be powered by the alternator of an outboard motor?

"An alternator is a compact belt-driven generator that’s installed on an engine to convert mechanical power to electrical power. That electrical power helps recharge a connected battery and, more and more, is being used to directly power onboard systems."...

Mechanic sounds like the type that cautions not to store batteries on a concrete floor.

Batteries are being charged and recharged every day by most every type of motorized vehicle. Strange sticker. While at the same time an alternator is powering more and more electrical components in cars, trucks and boats.
