How do I Convert a Positive Ground Triumph Motorcycle to a Negative Ground?
The original positive ground electrical system on a Triumph motorcycle can cause the center electrodes of the engine’s spark plugs to be eaten away rapidly and reduce the life of a spark plug. Other electrical components may also become subject to accelerated wear and so require frequent replacement. Such erosion may make the spark-gap too large and seriously reduce the power output of the engine. Using components from the later negative ground Triumphs makes a polarity conversion a relatively simple task.
