| If a bike of these model years experiences erratic electrical problems, be sure to remove this stud and thoroughly clean the female threads on the engine. Then, clean the stud threads on both ends and __apply a copper-based antiseize compound on reassembly__ to provide the best electical conductivity and minimize future corrosion. | If a bike of these model years experiences erratic electrical problems, be sure to remove this stud and thoroughly clean the female threads on the engine.

| - | Some folks have moved the Battery Ground Cable off the vertical stud and placed that on the other stud which is located horizontally on the top of the crankcase at Primary Cover. This stud is less likely to have the corrosion problem. This move can be done as a solution or as a preventative action. | + | Some folks have moved the Battery Ground Cable off the vertical stud and placed that on the other stud which is located horizontally on the top of the crankcase at the Primary Cover.

| Another point that must not be overlooked is the **grounding strap** that attaches between the engine and the frame. It is located in parallel with the torsion tie bar UNDER THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. Remove the strap and thoroughly clean both connecting points and reassemble with copper-based antiseize compound as suggested above. | Another point that must not be overlooked is the **grounding strap** that attaches between the engine and the frame.
