Just overhauled my gearbox and got the bike together but I can't remember where the biggest black ground cable attaches (the one from the negative battery terminal)? Can't seem to find it in my clymer manual either, anybody got a pic or directions?

I think that goes on the engine, somewhere near the back.

I can give you a pic in a few hours. its just a ground wire, so anywhere on the engine or frame will do.

Hi,
Logically it must go to the block else the spark plugs would not work faultlessly. If it went to the frame you may have poor connectivity thro inter-metal corrosion or paint being an insulant.
