wires to stator and rectifier warm to hot

No you're very wrong. Amperage is the physical pressure of DC current, amps are indeed what kill, a 200 CCA (cold cranking amperage) battery can kill a full-grown man (it usually doesn't but it can, and has). Most automobiles have batteries in excess of 300CCA, a big scooter battery has about 14CCA

A car battery should NEVER be used to jumpstart a scooter, this is indeed how you burn scooter wiring and set scooters on fire, or make batteries explode.

Our "voltage regulator" is actually called a Voltage Rectifier, it turns the AC current made by most stators into DC current used to run the bike. Few bikes use a DC current system (some do, like Kymco, and some Sym).

You really should have researched before you posted you comment, as disinformation is harmful to both the poster and reader.
