Title: Next question !!!!
Post by: Duc750 on November 09, 2011, 12:55:24 PM: Sorry guys another question which I'm left with having found both my memory and my photo collection lacking.

Can anyone describe or does anyone have a photo of the plug wire lay up in the K1100 - either my memory is decieving me or one of the plug wires goes the "wrong way round" to fit. I may of course be thinking of my old 100 whihc had some mods on the plug wires by a previous owner.

Thanks in advance for the help

Andy

On the frame of my unit there is a male spade connector which I'm assuming is to ground the frame of the motoronic unit to the battery/frame ground. Does anyone else have this or is it an "after market" addition ?

Is the earth strap to the tank stock too?

Post by: robleyd on November 11, 2011, 07:35:51 AM: FWIW my brick does have a strap to the tank. Left hand side a little forward of centre, if I recall. Been a few days since I've had the plastic off.

Looks a non standard connection for BmW too

This is what I've got to deal with in the relay box !

Is the female spade connector for the motronic frame part of the loom or a seperate lead, I can't find it for the life of me

It should be a black female blade connector on a skinny brown wire.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The main Moronic wiring harness connector is what grounds the circuitry. Mine was off for several months and it never impacted operation of the bike.
