Alright, So I (almost) finished putting the bike back together. Only thing left is the rear fender, and the battery.
I picked up my battery from the shop yesterday so the battery is fully charged. I drop it in the bike and hook up the pos/neg cables, turn the key, everything sounds exactly like it should. Lights come on, you can hear the vboost/servo(?) turn on. So far, so good.
When I hit the start button, a rapid clicking from the starter happens and that's about it. My thought process is that I do not have the wiring from the battery to the starter hooked up right. I checked the Haynes Service & Repair Manual I have, and they have some black and white photos in it, not exactly the best detail, but enough to see that I dont have the negative wire going to the right place.
On the starter, you have the motor lead on the left, and the battery lead on the right. My buddy had it hooked up so the negative and the motor lead was on the left. I removed the negative wire from the starter and tried grounding it to the frame. When I tried to start it this time nothing happened. So my question is, where does the negative wire from the battery go? And is that what the problem actually is?
Thanks.

Edited to add: In the wiring diagram in the back of the book, it simply shows the negitive from the battery being grounded, but the wire it self has two connectors, so I would think it would have to be screwed in somewhere specific?
