1996 K1100RS - Battery Ground?

1996 K1100RS - Battery Ground?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone remember the original spot where the battery made its ground?

My ground is on the batteryABS tray and it seems like a lot of potential for high resistance build up having to go through four contacts for the tray and then four more contacts for the cross brace underneath the tray.

Well I tried to make a .PDF of the IPC but I wasn't successful to show what I am posting about.

There are a total of nine contact points before the ground gets to the frame and/or engine.

On prior threads I am fighting a charging problem and while the generator is getting looked at I decide to look at my grounds to see how healthy they were. Where my battery ground was connected was a little corroded but I don't think bad enough to give me this problem.

BTW, first time on the new site. Very nice. Good job Peter.

I just tried going to left side of the transmission and my cable isn't long enough. I am beginning to wonder if this is the original cable. I can make it to the engine/transmission on the right side just aft of the alternator. Not sure about that because the alternator is in the shop and I don't know if the ground would get in the way of installing the alternator.

On my early K-100RS the battery ground wire connect directly to the transmission case on the left side of the bike, where there is a threaded boss for it to be attached to. If the start relay ever sticks, you can undo the 5 mm allen head screw and remove the ground quickly, before you weld too many things up Don't ask me how I know this, LOL.
