    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.

I'm putting the bike back together, my starter relay is this one
416rmw89meL._SY300_.jpg


It has 2 small terminals, the yellow green wire go to 1
should the other connect to ground and the body should not be grounded?

thanks

Yes, ground other small terminal, then no need to ground body

I don't know where you are intending to mount this.

THe stock one only has one small terminal, and gets its negative from the case mounting.
Is a ground wire coming from bike harness that is connected at the solenoid mounting. This to ground the batterybox.
You will still want to have the batterybox grounded because the R/R is also grounded by that.

THat is not what I said.

I said that a stock solenoid gets its negative (ground) thru its case.

I can not say about this aftermarket thing you got there (meant for garden tractor?). It has two terminals, so I suppose you need to connect to both of them.
Or you could try it without connecting ground to that 2nd terminal, if it works, then OKay. If it doesn't work then need to wire it up.
