[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1341612, member: 13598"] Welp fellas, I got it fixed. Bike runs fine but the work is not complete. I still have wrapping to do, re-stuffing to do, etc. But fear not, I took lots of pics. Especially of the surprises I encountered. Like if you unwrap tape just how much wire there is to work with. And what you can do to get the S4 up and out past the coolant pipe to be able to work on it. And how the S4 ground spider is not the same as a ground bus, i.e., it is NOT the main grounding circuit. And if you think the whole spider usage thing is chintzy just wait until you see how the S4 connects to what really is the main ground bus. Frikkin amazing!! I appreciate all the suggestions of tape, etc. but I do this stuff for a living. Things mentioned regularly reside in my toolbox just because. The plan? 1 wrap of standard electrical tape, glue out. 1 wrap of self adhesing rubber tape. One wrap of standard electrical tape, glue in. Cover all this with high temp abrasion resistant glass tape. Done. So stay tuned to this channel right chere, there's more to come. Same Bat time, same Bat channel. And as a plus, it looks like my battery isn't dying after all! We'll see in the coming weeks. [/QUOTE]
