    I just got a Kinlon and has to assemble half of it.

    and I have nearly finished, not much of a mechanical master. I cant seem to find the negative for the battery, I have the red cable in the positivve, and the only cable that isnt connected is the earthing cable.

    Thanks for any help

    Marius,

    Welcome to the frey!

    Got some folks on MCM that may be in your neck of the woods. When posting service/repair questions like this, it's good to attach photos if possible.

    Hi Marius
    If I understand your question corectly the negative lead is the earth cable. Most bikes are negative earthed.
    Hope this helps

    Whereabouts are you?
    Yup, earth is negative. There is a parts catalogue at
    http://www.kinlon.com.au/Super%20Mot...0Catalogue.pdf
    which shows the bike as an exploded diagram and may help for this and future questions (like when bits fall off ...) remember to go over all the bolts, not just the ones you put on, with loctite. There are a couple of Aussies and a Pom on this forum with that bike, do a search.

    Well good! I had two from the Kinlon dealer before i gave up and bought one, no problems since so some of those Kinlon batteries are true rubbish. if you do as I suggested using a few different related keywords and search the site for Kinlon threads you will see some Motard mods that work for your bike, sprocket and carb.

    where are you, in Aus?
