Electricity is an invisible force known by it's effects. I sometimes think professionals like Alantf can actually see it.

I asked my friend who tested my bike before. He stated before turning on the voltage was at 12 something, and while you're cranking it goes down to 11. Haven't had a chance to go and buy my own, daughters been sick so I'm o baby duty.

How would I test for a bad ground?

did you say if you had the bike manual? if not there is a post with it. you can view and research the electrical system. if you live close to me I could check it out for you. the first place I would start is by getting the volt meter so we can check the charging system.( the example I posted earlier)
