On my Transalp I have a temperature gauge. It has three wires green/blue,
green and black. Black =+12V, green = ground/earth/minus, green/blue comes
from the temperature unit, let's say the thermometer in the engine. The
temperature unit itself has a direct ground through the frame. At least
that's how I read the schematics in the back of my owners manual.
Best regards,
