INSPECTION

BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (!5-3)
• Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
• Disconnect the - battery lead wire.
Measure the current between the - battery terminal and - bat-
tery lead wire using the multi circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.

* Because the current leak might be large, turn the
tester to high range first to avoid tester damage.
* Do not turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position
when measuring current.
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
REGULATED VOLTAGE
• Remove the seat. (!5-3)
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min with dim-
mer switch turned "HI" position.
Measure the DC voltage between the + and - battery termi-
nals using the multi circuit tester. If the voltage is not within the
specified value, inspect the generator and regulator/rectifier.
(!6-9, 6-10)
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-
charged condition.
