battery wire?

I am going over my new KLR 650 and discovered a broken wire near the fuse box. It is black with a yellow stripe... I want to assume it is a chassis ground from the negative battery terminal, but thought I'd check to make sure. Also- I saw a Factory Service Manual on eBay for $10... seems like a great deal... has anyone bought it? Thanks! ~Eric

Black and yellow is a ground.

the factory service manual is OK, but you need 2. the original KLR600 and the supplement KLR650 manual. I also have the Clymer KLR650 repair manual. personally I thing all 3 are needed.each manual has something missing that the others cover

made in thailand??
