Oh, my bad, I did fail to address your question "is rotating machinery dangerous" The question is so general itself its a no brainer, unarguable fact, Potentially, Yes. potentially, as in "it depends", right? running without a cover is entirely your choice, but there could be some obscure laws on the books in the various states that might prohibit it. i know machine shops can be given hefty fines for running lathes and such without their covers. |

Did I stutter? lol just jackin with ya buck&quarter.. "it depends", yes, correct, sure.... depends if I have a five foot long leg that can bend around and under my Scoot like some acrobat with some 16" shoe laces dangling.. If there are any laws there never going to be enforced, look at any HD with Pipes, on the pipe they all say "For Off Road use Only" nobody enforces that not even the emission/safety check thing I had to do in Texas with my bikes. OSHA these days keeps legit Shops in pretty darn tight order these days. |

the fact remains, and i'll repeat it until the day i die, rotating machinery is dangerous.
check out some of these videos:
granted, most scooters do not have the horsepower of a farm tractor, but i gaurentee you that NO ONE is going to willingly stick their hands into an open faced clutch while it is operating.
there are other, less dangerous ways of keeping your CVT cool.
