When the commutator blew, the idiot light came on, and I replaced the generator (2x). I got about 75km or so on each of them, with a certain amount of idling/fiddling around time.

The generator was supposed to be polarized when I got it, and since it charged for a while, I assume it was.

After the last one failed, I replaced the regulator, out of spite.
