Thanks levi.
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.
Levi
Thanks levi.
pictures please??????
Seems easy enough to do but pictures would be nice.
^^^^^PICS PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEE! I don't read well :D
Seriously pics would help! thanks Spud!
I guess I can add another request for some pictures!
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?
