Thanks Richard230, that is absolutely a clip on ferrite bead added for EMI to pass UL testing.
The "snap" you sometimes hear when plugging in the bike is an arc.  It should not hurt anything but if your concerned, plug the bike in first then plug the other end into the wall.

Thanks, that’s something I can confirm and note in the manual.

Agreed that plugging the bike end first is preferable. Ensuring that any spark happens away from the C14 inlet on the more easily replaceable cable’s prongs is a good practice.

Your switch will not interfere with charging.

None of my Zeros have ignitions. Pull starts, missile switches, RFID etc.

That is great news for me, thx ! and thx all
