Uturn Posted July 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2011 On the way back from my SC last weekend, I stopped for gas, when I started to get back on the road, I had no power. Assuming that I had a blowed fuse, I started taking the bike apart to check fuses. After 1.5 hour in the 99 degree weather, I found the problem to be a broken ground battery cable. What broke was the flat metal at the bend next to where it connects to the battery. Wedged the broken piece under lugs and tighten down. Picked up a new end at the shop yesterday. Will anyone tell me the "best" way to get the cable off so I can put the new connector on. I would reckon it is ground to the engine block "SOMEWHERE?".

dingy Posted July 6, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2011 Don't have an RSV, but if it like the 1st gen, the negative cable will attach to the motor block on the right front side. 1st gen uses one of the bolts that hold case together. Probably be near your brake pedal/master cylinder area. This is just a guesstimate till someone that knows what they are talking about can reply.
