Hiya

Battery in Suzuki VL250 has gone flat. We bought a charger / conditioner thing, and we need to know if the battery is negative or positive grounded. I've searched on google but can't find the answer. Can anyone help? Probably a really dumb question, I know! Thanks :yes:

Thank you!!! Re reading the instructions, it said *most* were negative, so we have gone with that and nothing has blown up or caught fire so I guess it's all good! :yes:

Most bike batteries are negative earth/ground, but it's really irrelevant: just connect the negative temrinal of the charger to the negative battery terminal, and postive to positive.
