Great thread. It's way over my head but very interesting!

Yes, the depth of knowledge here always amazes me. (I guess I should stop being amazed!) Thanks guys!

I can already feel the regulator switching on and off, so I know when I have full power to accelerate!

Lol, I probably won't but I've always had a great curiosity about, well, just about everything. Anyway, the stitches in my hand come out Monday and I hope I can start riding again right away.

Thank you postoak. We all got to go to an interesting lesson. Thank you teachers.
I wish, I wish, I wish I understood more of it. *sigh*

You have to have a long beard, wear a robe, and a pointy hat with the moon and stars on it to understand electrical stuff. Mere mortals need not apply.

Not necessarily. Having an industrial electrical contractor dad who gave me a tool pouch and starting taking me to work with him when I was about 12 was just as good. Working 9 years as a power station operator for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power also helped. Plus 4 years operating a motor rewind shop. Learned a lot, but still not a wizard.
