Great that you found the missing ground wire! Bad news that someone got happy with the wire cutters...you may have more cut wires to discover...
i use 50-50 mixture of kerosene and ATF. Cleans and leaves a protective film, very inexpensive.
Almost any old RR will work on any old bike--they are simple 3-phase rectifier bridges with some sort of voltage control to not overcharge a...
Pilot jets are inside the bowl and come in a range of sizes; the pilot or mixture screws are external and only come in one size.
i use a toothbrush to lube the chain using SAE 90-140 wt gear oil. i have 26k miles on one o-ring chain and it looks like it will go 50. Can the...

Where on the bike is that located? That doesn't look like the OEM ground lug at all--the factory lug doesn't have yellow insulation on it and...

Sorry to hear about the latest issue, but at least you caught the connector before it did any damage. The terminal lugs are the root of all evil...
The second test has the correct voltage on the black/white measured to ground, which should have been the result of the first test--so this is...
So now you're going to start a 3rd thread on this same bike/problem--Why not keep it all under one thread so we don't have to fish around to...
Measure at the ICM on the back side with everything connected. The black/white is the hot wire from fuse number 4 thru the kill switch to the ICM...
Usually first-timers can get them cleaned properly after about 4 or 5 tries--but not always...
do you have no spark on all 4, or no spark on either the front or rear pair? do you measure battery voltage between the black/white wire and...
Like a set of carburator synch gauges--like motion pro, etc.?
One possibility is pinholes, splits or cracks causing leaks in the rubber diaphragms. Also Clogged air circuits or vacuum ports in the pressure...
This sounds like another symptom of running lean mixture on the pilots and may be cured by the mixture adjustment also, but here is a way to test....
No harm in trying more--take them out to 4 or 5 and see if that helps, then bring them back in if that is too much, etc. There is no magic number...
