The motor mounts on the frame have to be bear metal in order to provide good ground to the motor. All the electronics hare grounded to the frame/motor. Improper ground to the motor will lead to electrical issues... I'ts common to see people paint their frame but not clean up the paint off the motor monts... hope it helps  Ooohhh I didn't even think of the motor mounts, just the spots where the grounds are... Thank you. I'll check that next weekend. |

Now here's the question, is there a way that I can grind the paint off of the motor mounts without having to take the bike pletely apart? Or can I take those bolts out and just drop the engine very slightly to squeeze in there and get it. I would have to hate to backtrack A month's worth of work because of my stupidity

There's more than one way to achieve a good ground for the motor. The factory doesn't grind the frame before installing the motor.
Do you have the ground strap from the back of the motor to the frame behind the r/h rearset installed? Is that point free of paint? Is the area where the ground cable attaches free of paint?

I do. And I thought I had grounded it down clear enough. It's hard to check now with the engine attached but ill check it out again. I'm stumped. This is why I hate electrical work lol |

You might try those toothed washers I mentioned. A jumper from the engine to battery ground will verify if that's the problem before you chase your tail. |

Conclusion: I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't want to start messing with electrical stuff.
Bike is loaded in the back of my dad's truck. Will be dropped off to the mechanic tomorrow afternoon, and I'll have him do the rest of the stuff that I can't do.
A little saddened that I couldn't do 100% of the work myself. But for my first time ever doing anything like this, I think my 75% was enough to be proud of.
Thank you guys for your input. I'll be sure to post the final photos when I get him back (in a month or so I'm guessing).

Be proud. You are still in charge of rehabilitating Igor project. Not many shops do everything.

Still not done, but I wanted a sneak peek at what he would look like once his tank and seat is back on.  Sharp looking bike right there! |
