Found something interesting..
While in the process of renovating my bike, I found something interesting with the negative ground to the engine case. I decided to pull it off and clean the area where it grounds too and clean off the connection as well. On closer inspection of the wire I noticed it had some corrosion on the end and went to clean it. It wouldn't clean out so I took my knife and opened in up some, I found that the corrosion had totally messed up the cable. The corrosion had traveled 3/4s of the cables length and had even eaten up some of the wires. Glad I had two other grounds besides the one from the battery to the engine case, this one apparently wasn't working for ca-ca.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002
