Electricity.

Yes, electricity. For your bikes electrical system to work satisfactorley, the electrons have to flow from the positive pole of the battery, through all of the wires to the various lights, solenoids, starter motor to the FRAME and thence to the negative post. Or. guess what? Trouble. So each item has to have a good ground to the frame, and the frame connection to the negative post. Electricity goes in a circle on any battery powered circuit. Have a break, or weak ground, anwhere it that circuit, and you have a problem. Sand a penny sized patch through the paint where the ground strap (wire) attaches to the frame, re-bolt the ground to the frame and coat the surgery with Vaseline. Vaseline protects the frame and wire end from corrosion. Once the engine is running, now you need good grounds for the rectifier and the CDI unit. And the zenor diode, or whater they are using to get rid of the over-generated electricity coming from the alternator. None of it will work without good grounds. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! LOL....ARH
