    What if I do this to my bike and I still can't ride a motorcycle very well?
    Could I blame you? I keed I keed.

    Hey thanks for posting this up. My STT had some old battery/bad ground issues. This was part of the fix and I appreciate your sharing it with us.

    Ten gauge is the ticket by the way.

    Would a frame ground work just as well as the terminal?

    No a ground directly to the main point at the side rail is best as described, electricity takes the path of least resistance so give it what it needs a short direct route!

    the point of going straight to the neg batt post is to bypass the wireing harness. You should be using a larger gauge wire also. The harness uses some small gauges and this is to help take the grounding load off the harness and alow a better path to the batt. I noticed imedietly that my bike started easier and idled smoother when I did it.

    Alright if I made a "Y" wire that went from both coil bolts and straight to the tail ground (off the battery) would it make any difference at all than 1 wire from one bolt?
