dmcblaster Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Im in the process of rebuilding my banshee. I stripped her down to the frame and had it powdercoated. So.. lets start with grounding. What all needs to be grounded to the frame? I know the wiring harness needs to be grounded at the rear of the frame. The ign coil has a ground wire but it has bare metal where the mounting bolts go through the coil so im wondering if the coil is also grounded to the frame through the bolts. Anything else im missing? I have not removed any powdercoating at the ground connections so its just using the screw threads to ground. I checked the ground connections with my multimeter and everything checked out good but wondering if this will work or should i remove the powdercoating on the frame at the grounding points for a better connection? Vent Hose.... I have most of the vent hose routing figured out but im wondering about the rear crankcase vent with the white fitting. Exactly how does that hose get routed up to the T connection? Does the white fitting in the crankcase point rearward, hose attaches to fitting and does a 180 deg turn over the rear engine mount bolt up to the T fitting? Or does it route a different way? Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 I'd rather hit it with something to get to bare metal. Better to have a known good connection. The vent I route out the back with about a 3 inch hose. I blocked off the clutch cover. Quote
Finch Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 i just hook the ground to a bolt in the frame it works fine Quote

sheerider11 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Ive read that people route the vent hose out the back but wont tranny fluid leak out if tipped backwards? Probably. I never flip my bike up really like transporting it. Just normal riding with the front end coming up. Never noticed anything leaking. Quote
dmcblaster Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Posted March 19, 2013 Anyone else care to give some input? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 I run the vent backward. Never any leakage Unless you are one of those guys that store or transport their bike vertical. I also run my overflow bottle line out to over my radiator so if it over heats I can see steam and smell coolant burning off the rad or pipes. Quote
