Hi,
Forgive me if I’m asking about a common problem.
Over the past year or two I’ve been having what I thought was battery problems (2 replacements) but now think it’s an earthing problem.
Sometimes the bike starts perfectly, other times it will click and the dash and lights go out. This will rectify itself in a minute or two then it might start ok. Battery is fine, 2 months old, and the charging is fine (replaced regulator/rectifier two years ago oem part), from memory charging just under or around 14.5v.
This bike is in very good condition but where are the earths I should check?
Cheers

battery to frame & engine to frame
as a general rule all the big earths as crude & corrosion causes resistance
