I was looking just in front of my oil tank this evening, and saw a ground terminal with three wires. One on its own stud terminal and two others on the same stud terminal. the two wire terminal was snapped off. But the bike still runs fine. does anyone know what the two wires belong to (circuit). Thanks for the help. |

Pg. 7-49 of the service manual says that is the Master Circuit Breaker. Single wire is BK wire from starter. Double wires are R wire from voltage regulator and R wires from key switch/fuse block. |

Is that the block mounted under the flat part of the frame where the rear of the fuel tank sits? I was wondering what it was.. |

Yeah Pk that's where it is. I'm assuming that's what he's talking about as that was the only thing I could find fitting that description. FWIW if you don't have a service manual I'd highly suggest getting one, they're worth their weight in Buell parts. |

Can you say why the bike is running fine with no problems. Thanks. |

Can't say. After I posted the first post I wondered if that was actually what you were talking about because I would have thought it would have had intermittent problems at the least if it ran at all. Maybe an electrical guru will show up. Have you searched the KV in the electrics tab? |
