Yeah, it seems engineers rarely think about those "Oopsies" when they design engine bays. I've had bikes that the positive lead had to be removed first, and it was about a half-inch from the frame rail.

I was just wondering if someone knew of any electrical reason for doing this. There really isn't any
The possibility of shorting out the battery to ground IS THE ELECTRICAL REASON!
The immediate rush of current to ground can cause serious burns or injuries.Bill & Colleen ~ Schwenksville, Pa

I understand for sure. My grandfather was a electrician and amateur radio operator in the '30s. (he was later fast tracked through Annapolis and became the head radio officer on the USS Lexington until it was sank at the Battle of the Coral Sea .. but I digress ..)
He taught me about electricity, electronics (tubes, then), & radio wave transmission starting when I was in 2nd grade. He was such an inspiration that I later got a BS in EE and went into a 34 year career designing CPUs at HP, Intel and AMD.
Anyway, to teach me the difference between current and voltage, he would lick his little finger & thumb and put them across the terminals of a car battery. After seeing sparks, melting of shorted wires, and the discharge on a car coil, I thought he was crazy. But he did it to give me (as a grade schooler) a comprehension of resistance and it's relation to current and voltage. He'd also scold me if I went into his radio room barefoot .. but that's another story.
Hope you're having a good one, too.signature
