    Battery ground location?

    Hi guys, can anyone assure me that this starter bolt is the usual spot for neg- battery cable?
    Its for 86-88 trx200sx but is probably same on alot of others?

    My cable is too short if i ground to normal spot under the tank, 1986 200x but if its correct in picture then im good for length.
    Thanks for your help...(probably stupid question)been a long wk
    I couldn't find good pic in manual

    It really wouldn't matter where that ground goes. It's a large gauge and can go anywhere on the frame or motor. Motor is probably best and I'd sand it spotless before I connected it....
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    I'm not sure about the sx's but trikes like the 225dx ground right to the frame right next to the battery box. It's a short 12" heavy gauge wire like that.

    Like DC said, anywhere on the frame or motor will do. As long as it's properly grounded it will be fine.

    That was my problem, i should have welded a bung into the frame closer to battery, would have been easier to route 1 less wire.. Not many (if any) good spots on frame except the factory one waaaay up front.
    The cable will just reach from starter/block bolt. So i think im good
    Thanks,
    Shep
