I'm going to suggest not to put it directly to the battery. Here's why. That wire is a direct short for the mag to discharge the spark. I know that the frame is basically a direct ground, but if something went wrong, it could put quite a bit of voltage directly to the battery. It's kind of like, not using the negative post of a battery to ground a spark plug for testing. It's just not safe.
