Hey guys. Does anyone known where all the earth/grounds are in a 2013 gen1. Or atleast those front of the tank? Can't find anything online 😕

The frame (or engine) would usually be considered earth/negative.

So quite often something (e.g. the starter motor) will have the (starter motor) casing as ground/neg. The starter motor casing touches the frame which is ground so that's your negative.. and it only then needs the single red positive wire.

So to get a ground all you need to do is make sure whatever it is is touching the frame/engine/etc.

What is it you're trying to do?

so checking the earths

battery has been changed - and has correct voltage etc - using a Motobatt

how about checking the fuses? Should be a little box of them under the seat.

All fuses checked and working - all have continueity and are visably fine

if you have a multimeter it may be worth checking the fuses are getting power.e.g...tbh it sounds like you're getting into multimeter detective games territory here which might be beyond what can be diagnosed without seeing the bike..If the battery has power.. follow the wire to the ignition under the fuel tank, has that got power? the power will stop somewhere and that's likely where the problem is.
