Default So look what I found...broken (ugh)

Ok, so a few weeks ago I thought my power commander III had shorted out, which was causing a lot "stumbling and shut-downs". So I took a moment and looked up into my rear fender because I had lowered the bike and sure enough the tire had hit the lighting wiring but didn't do any big damage so.... I started to follow the wires up, looking for broken or exposed wiring.

I pulled the battery and sure enough...



I reviewed the wiring diagrams but still not 100% of what this grounds but sure enough it was busted off the grounding post.
