Starter Relay terminals

[Guest]

I'm putting the bike back together, my starter relay is this one


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.

Thanks!
So, if it's also grounded via the mounting bolts,can i leave the second terminal un connected?

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.

1 small terminal HAS to go directly to ground --
