          It means there's no success to any outcome. Seeing as it wasn't quoting anything it's probably directed towards me, no big deal.

            Consider this. There is no success to anything anyone ever does,......................until............
            They succeed.

            I will guess it could be either of us. heh lol

              I surely will succeed! I have all the parts just gonna check a few things and then should be on the way to running, and then riding. Seeing my issues are very possible to deal with I should be done fairly quickly and easily.

                  I did move them but if you're talking about getting rid of the second ground for the battery I have not done that yet. What's really odd to me is that it doesnt show it on the OEM blueprint. I wonder why it was even added or if my battery connections are aftermarket or from a different bike.

                    Heres how it's set up, know of any reason it would be done? Should I just go ahead and clip it

                      Gonna test the main ground to ensure it's doing its job and remove that extra ground, aslong as it's just extra! I guess a second ground doesnt hurt but if the main tests fine I dont see why I'd need it.

                      Gonna have the regulator ground where the second battery ground was instead of the battery terminal to ensure if a problem happens that the only piece failing will be the only one damaged

                        The "extra" ground is ground reinforcement. It ensures other stuff have a good ground when the "main" ground is loaded up. During cranking is a time when the positive and negative cables will be loaded up - notice the positive cable also has the "extra" split off that occurs at the battery terminal and not at the other end (starter relay/solenoid) for the same reason.

                          It was added by someone that doesn't understand the system. Grounds are a common loop. Only one battery ground to frame is needed. That is why the factory uses one.
