I hear ya !  Hey, it's not like it's a modified motor that's spent much time sucking grit through itself under race conditions.

For less than 600 miles

I suspect it has been more "damaged" by sucking dirt / grit / sand / salt / chemicals from 13k miles of commuting on the east coast year round than anything else lol

Ventilating these motors makes a lot of sense for racing ... but I am still unsure it makes sense for commuting where it snows annually. At least not the way this one is ventilated. And with the new IPM motors I am not sure there will be a demand for my "lightly used" racing motor lol

I haven't tried to remove the entire rotor as I am not sure how to do this without damaging the motor.

Since apparently the LH motor side cover comes right off, I assume the RH rotor-shaft end is held captive by the RH side cover and/or encoder, is that correct?  And sliding the shaft & side cover together out the RH side of the motor housing is an OMG-these-magnets-are-strong scraping / scary event?  Or am I just way off base?
