    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Placement of RR ground?

I am in the process of replacing my original Suzuki RR with the Electrex model -- the bike is filleted in my driveway while I dash to the hardware store for longer screws (the Electrex is thicker than stock).

One quick question: the ground wire had been connected to the screw that held the RR on to the bike. Would it be better to connect it elsewhere -- say, to the main frame, instead of to the battery cage -- if I can get the wire to reach? It doesn't look like it will reach the battery ground.

Thanks!
 
Extend it so it will reach the battery then, it's the best solution really.
 
Leave the original ground connection hooked up. Add another ground from the other mounting bolt direct to the battery (-) Use 10-12 ga wire

Not trusting my soldering ability, and thinking that an in-line splice might not wear that well, I went for SqDancerLynn's suggestion. Thanks to you both!
 
I ran mine as all one wire from the RR/s ground mount, to the battery (-), from that to the engine case. All one cable with no spliting.
