hmmm not quite sure what the problem is now. Cleaned my connectors last night but none of them looked bad to begin with.
Voltages at the battery are fine with/without engine running but did notice that the ground between the engine and frame is ~1.8ohm
Is there a ground wire from engine to frame or does it rely on the mount bolts?
I ran a wire from the engine/battery ground bolt on the starter to the frame and got some interesting results. I bolted the wire to the ground bolt on the starter and measure the resistance along the wire from bolt to tip and its ~0 ohm as expected however if I touch that to the frame and measure it is still around 1.6 to 1.8 ohm. Leaking somewhere?
The bike has no alarm or additional things on it.
