Happy Labor Day all. Looking for the main chassis ground as pictured in the wiring diagram. It has six wires to it but doesn't show where it is. I am t/sing a no start issue and checking a bunch of switches. I just checked the side stand switch. Looks ok. Where is this main ground?

That's what I figured. Can't get there from here. If it was easy to get to I go for it but everything I have done so far tells me the ground is "ok". Getting good spark at the plugs and injectors are getting electricity. I got the tank pulled apart and has it was going back together I pulled the pump screen off by accident. That's another $85.
This started as "it died on me" then to "it won't start on me" now I got to get back together. Changed the fuel filter, I know the primary plugs work. I need to test the pump and injectors. I have removed and cleaned a bunch of electrical plugs. HES needs to be looked at but doubt it is that. Can the HES be "ohm'd" out with out digging it out? Will it show a short if HES component wiring is grounded somewhere?

You are getting spark.
You have power to the injectors. They sink to ground thru the motronic.
Pull 1 injector out of the TB.
Are you getting a fuel squirt on cranking? Y/N?
If no, it might be the lower sensor
If yes, then do the following
Rotate the crank by hand to a little before the 'S' mark (5° BTDC) on the flywheel
Turn the ignition key on - the fuel pump will cycle normally for 1 sec
Rotate the crank very s-l-o-w-l-y CW by hand until the fuel pump cycles again
The crank is now at the hall sensor trip point - in this case that is also the static timing point
Look at the flywheel marking to see where the static timing is set - should be "OT"
This will test if the HES timing cup has slipped

Got to get the tank back on but waiting for a flimsy new fuel screen that accidentally got yanked off.
