My ground wire from my ebox to stator broke inside the casing, giving me a no-crank situation. I went ahead and grounded my ebox to the engine block (to the ground post of the starter motor on the same bolt as the ground for my battery). I could hold the start button down and nothing would happen until I touched the ground wire to the block.
Last time I went riding, I 100% drained my battery and had to get towed. My battery is not charging, why is this? Is a ground not a ground? The stator is grounded to the motor and the ebox is also grounded, so why is my battery not charging? I need to double check my ebox and all electrical connections, but I can just not understand why my 'fix' isn't working. ( I even did a pretty legitimate job, ran a ground wire through the unused temp sensor grommet and everything.)
TL;DR - grounded my ebox to motor, battery isn't charging.
Any electrical gurus care to chime in?
