Smoke from GSXR Ground Wire?

[xDonnellyK]

Oh boy, how I sometimes wonder why I put so much effort into the little GSXR Little background on the GSXR wiring, it was screwed. I'm talking, hacked, chopped, burnt, shorted, you name it! So I did up my own loom just for engine running, later I'll do lights (Its not my first time wiring up a bike by the way). So this system worked flawlessly, until a few hours ago when for no reason at all my Ground wire from the battery started to smoke. So I was like hmm short circut somewhere, I checked it and everything was tight, hooked up solid as was before! So I flick my ignition to the 'ON' position and everything is still fine, then when I start to turn the bike over it begins to get hot on both the Positive and Ground wires. Checked my grounding, solenoid and starter motor connections, all are perfect! So I changed the Positive and Negative wires coming from the battery with slighty thicker ones, and the same thing happens! This thing has all new cables, all brand new connections and I double checked everything. As I said it was perfect up until now and I've wired bike the same way in the past with no problems. I will dig deeper into the situation but if anyone has any help or suggestions they would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Kieran

Hi Kieran,

So did this work previously(with your wiring changes)? Or since the wiring changes it doesn't work? If you want to post a little diagram of what you've wired where and the cable sizes used, i'll have a look at it if you want.

Have you connected things like the generator and regulator rectifier?
