Rebuilt the clutch on my RSV yesterday. After getting it back together I thought I would crank and do a warm up to check for leaks before putting the Stebel horn back on in case I had to go back in. Starter button only buzzed and the radio keep turning off. I checked my battery purchase date and it’s a year and half old so I go buy a new one. Yikes the problem is still here! Guess what? The Stebel mount bolt is a needed ground so after getting it back on all is well. Out some misery and 80 bucks but I have a new battery. LOL :doh:

You mean that the RSV does not have a specific ground wire to the engine?

The wire he refers to IS the specific ground wire to the engine - located right behind the oil filler cap. That bolt just happens to be the one most people use to mount an air horn.

Don't mean to Hijack this thread but with the mention of the Stebel horn I thought I'd ask this. Do you find yourself bumping into this horn when your menovering around specially backing up. Just thought I'd ask for I think mine is sticking out just a tad too much or is it something one has to live with if ya want improvments.. LOL..
