    I think that's where Yamaha improved things when the FJ came out. The alternator is driven off a cog, AFAIK, though still situated behind the cylinders. I've rebuilt 4 and not come across any other chains other than the cam chain and primary chain.

    I stand by my reasoning, an engineer would never use cog..

    Cogs are individual teeth on a gear or separate, often wooden, pegs inserted into a wheel, whereas gears (or gearwheels) are the entire toothed wheels that mesh together to transfer torque. Cogs are often smaller,, while gears are broader,, more general components. In bicycling, individual rear sprockets are called cogs.
