What does it mean for a motorcycle's positive terminal to be grounded?
1 Answers
Refers to the connection of the vehicle's ground wire to the body and metal parts of the engine, ensuring a common ground for the entire vehicle's grounding system. Preventing the positive terminal from contacting the body: Measures are already in place during factory wiring to prevent the positive wire from breaking and touching the body due to severe collisions. Regularly inspect the wiring for any friction with the body and make timely corrections. Effects of positive terminal grounding: If the motorcycle battery's positive terminal accidentally shorts to ground briefly, it's generally not a problem as long as the fuse isn't blown and there are no other abnormal conditions. It won't have any adverse effects. If the fuse blows, simply replace it. Prolonged grounding can lead to plate breakdown, significantly reducing battery capacity.
