I finally got my T350 pretty much dialed in and ready to hit the road but now i have a problem with my ground wire. The bike runs and rides so I'm getting power to different places but not all.
this is essentially my wiring system minus the voltage regulator. These are the things I currently have hooked up on the bike: rectifier, generator, coils, battery, ignition switch. pretty much the basics. I tried to hook up a tail light to find out that part of my ground wire really wasnt grounded, it wouldnt light up unless i touched the lights ground wire to the frame. the generator, battery, and rectifier grounds work, the tail light and headlight grounds not so much. The manual pretty much grounds all the lights to the frame except the headlight but shouldnt one ground be good enough? Also my battery goes from 12.26V with ignition OFF to 12.00V ignition ON, I know there is an internal resistance with the battery so the voltage drops a bit but its dropping every time i turn on the ignition (now at 11.98V) I'm pretty stumped.
