I am putting back together the '94 K RS. It came to me with the motronic out of it. I could use a couple of "stock" photos of the battery hold down/ main motronic wiring. I am having a hard time thinking that a metal plate sits so close to the battery terminals. Also, on the left side of the tranny there is a bolt that in my k100 carries a main ground...this bike had nothing connected to it?

Thanks for any help.

Joe

It does sit close. I have a piece of thin plastic wedged in between so it doesn't touch accidentally. Rolling Eyes

I had to do the same thing with my Odysee battery

Your bike grounds differently - not like a 2V. Don't worry about it.

I did something similar by gluing foam rubber under the metal plate.

The stock BMW batteries come with plastic cover to prevent the positive terminal from contacting the motronic mounting plate/battery hold down. When I replaced my stock battery with a Westco battery I added a shim under the plate to prevent contact with the positive terminal.

Thanks for all the input. Does anybody have some "stock" photos....I am wondering about wire routing.

No one here stock photos but while I was changing out my K&N air filter for a OEM I took this.



Don't know how this will help but there you have it. Smile

Thanks for the shot. That does help.....Bike came with battery disconnected and motronic out.

I could use one more...from the under-seat down to top of Motronic.

It appears that your battery ground comes around the right side of the battery. I was bringing mine over the top, but something is just not right.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks Scott those do help quite a bit.

I did not know where to run the main FI wire and the attached grounds.

Where do you attach the large ground (other than the battery ground)

Thanks!
Joe
