R1 earth cable query
markyb - 26/5/08 at 10:07 PM

I think I have most of my R1 leccy sorted (until I try and start her that is !!!) but I have a query on the earth cable.

There is an black offshout cable from the engine earth that has a single connection and I cant seem to find it on the R1 electric diagram - what should it be connected to ?

hope I have explained this correctly as the batteries in my camera have died so cant provide a pic at the mo

in case it makes a difference the engine is 03

Pic?
Is that the smaller one that goes from the battery along with the main earth cable?

Cheers,
Joao

here is the connection I was talking about (the one with the white shroud)

After having another look at my loom I think I found where it should be connected to but just want to check. There is a single black cable that emerges from the loom just before the ECU - is this correct one to use ?

EDIT : Havent posted a pic before so must have got it wrong somewhere - the pic is in my archive

that connector then hooks into the earthing loom I think as the bike doesnt eath to the chassie everything is supplied via one cable

thanks - found the connector hiding in my loom eventually but always worth a double check
