SYSTEM INSPECTION
Remove the seat and rear cowling.
Disconnect the 3P (WHITE) and 4P (BLACK) regulatorlrectifier
connectors.
Check the connectors for loose or corroded terminals.
If the regulated voltage reading was out of specification,
check the circuits between the connector terminals (wire har-
ness side and alternator side) following the chart on next page.
NOTE
The regulator/rectifier is semiconductorized unit; the speci-
fied tester. If a different tester is used the test results will
be out of specification.
You'll get a false reading if your finger touches the tester
probes.
If the pointer of the tester fails to swing to zero when the
adjusting knob is turned fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise, replace the tester dry battery.
