[QUOTE="redbloke1956, post: 51475, member: 2299"] Hi Martyn, from experience, the amount of current likely to flow through swing arm bearings is not likely to cause damage for a couple of hundred years BUT I still agree with running a separate Earth....while on the point of Earths, last week I was having intermittent problems with the Beemer....slow crank speed (even though I had just stripped and overhauled the starter motor) intermittent operation of ABS (which puts you into "hobble home" mode aka No [EMAIL]F#@kin[/EMAIL] Brakes), and another few intermittent problems. All this after a big strip down to replace rear main seal (which destroyed the clutch) So, remove all Tupperware, Tank and everything else you could think of only to discover....:oops: hadn't connected one of the Earths:oops: Ya gotta love the ergonomic design of Beemers, 40 minutes of Tupperware removal just to remove radiator cap. Was even worse on an ST1100 I had.....then the wind picks up (on side of road) 20 minutes chasing Tupperware across peak hour traffic only to find retaining screws, that were sitting in the removed plastic, had fallen in gutter, half of which fell into a drain (That will teach me for buying a Honda) Kev [/QUOTE]
