hey guys thanks for all the help.

So your schematic doesn't show a ground strap from R/R (-) to Battery (-) but U recommend that apparently.

Pos

Yeah, it's called the frame.

etc...


Hey, you guys have this discussion going on in another thread already. I can't keep up with two electronics threads.

You both want what's best for our GS bikes, right? Then we're cool.

I don't think it was Mr. duaneage who advocated a direct r/r to battery negative connection. I first heard it from another forum member, who shall remain nameless for his own protection.

When I got my bike it had its r/r grounded to a fairly corroded spot on the battery box. Not ideal at all. I'm sure a true, solid frame ground is much better, although I've had no issues with the (-)battery connection either. I do plan to move it around a bit and take my own measurements.

Thank you Jim and Duane for your passion for our motorcycles.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
