Mate, not totally sure what you mean. Negative lead just bolts to motor. I fitted a parallel extra wire.

No @DTTW there isn't. The main straps are battery negative to the frame, and then there is another earth strap between the frame and the engine.

If you are looking for better earthing, this may help? https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=4828.0
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Under the seat beside the ecu area there is a connector that has maybe 6-7 smaller earth wires joining before it the then joins the big back of the motor to battery earth .
Good luck

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to figure it out. Yeah, some extra earthing is on my to do list.

@DTTW
S9me folks add an extra earth from the back of the motor to the frame and then another from the frame to the battery .
I've added the first one after my main earth wire failed .

Thanks @seth, good info mate. Certainly don't want the main earth wire to fail on me.
