So now I'm slowly putting it back together what points/parts of my freshly powder coated frame needs taking back to bare metal for electrical connectivity? I'd sooner do it now rather than chasing bad/no earth later on it the build!
Bryanj:
Both sides of the RH rear engine nount big engine through bolt goes and the coil mounting bracket where the small green wire goes
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
IMHO what you need is one good high quality earth point rather than several earth points all over the place. There are two areas as I see it, battery earth to the frame and the engine, good earth for the loom to frame earth near the coils.
I concentrated on the main battery cable earth point where the cable from the battery attaches to the frame lug where the upper rear engine mounting bolts through the frame. I made sure there was good clean contact betwwen the earth strap and the bolt head, the frame where the bolts sits on the upper right hand side, the inside part of the frame, likewise at the left side where the nut fits onto the engine mounting bolt.
Second area was where the wiring loom has that spur on the 500 near the coils on the left side of the frame. I also provided dedicated earth wires for all four indicators.
If I've missed something there will be comments from others.
Update Bryan has already posted the short version!
TezzerTel:
Thanks that's a great help
TezzerTel:
So I've rebuilt both my wheels and had some nice new Continental tyres fitted.
I looked through my removed parts box and found these. Can't remember exactly where they came from !! Do the fir on the headlight mounts?
