[QUOTE="Bubba, post: 26927, member: 935"] Thanks very much for the helpful responses. I appreciate them very much. I'll take a look at moving my ground. It is ground I'm after, not power. With respect to the non-helpful response (and the editorial comment in one of the helpful responses) -- Yes, IMO the manual is about useless. Sorry if I touched a nerve. I'm an engineer with two decades of experience. I can read electrical diagrams. Also, I was comparing the manual to a Harley manual so maybe my comparison isn't fair. I'm using the Yamaha shop manual (I can't remember the exact title). There are several problems with it. For example, there is neither a table of contents nor an index. Yes, there is page upon page upon page upon page upon page upon page ... upon page of diagrams. In fact, there appears to be about 20 pages of exactly the same diagram but with different call-outs. But again, there is no index. So you can't look up "connector, handle bar electrical, left", for example, and see where it is and what its pinout is. You have to read the manual just about cover-to-cover to find it. The manual looks like it was written by some Japanese engineers. That's not good. Yamaha needs to hire a technical writer and invest in some narrative. I don't recommend it for purchase. Please don't shoot back. This is just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
