Earthing points 1998 Diversion

[willsleddon]

Hi guys. New to the forum and really appreciate the help. I have probably always had charging problems on my bike, old battery duff, new battery not so duff but functional, and was wondering where the earthing points are on this bike so I can attend to them. The one from the negative terminal to the engine is OK but I seem to remember reading one was by the back mudguard.

Thanks very much, Will.

I don't have a D9 at this time, but I don't recall a direct earth to the frame near or around the rear mudguard.

But there are plug connectors all over the bike, which I'd be inclined to un-couple & check for corrosion, clean up & reconnect. it's not uncommon to find the one under the LHS of the tank needs a tidy-up.

Are you happy that the bike is charging OK, as it might be you're not getting a good charge when running.
