6.3.3 CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR CONTINUITY

When the engine is switched off:
Remove the rear fairing, see 7.1.36 (REMOVING THE
REAR FAIRING).
Disconnect the voltage regulator three-way cable con-
nector (1) (coloured brown).
a
CAUTION
When reassembling, make sure the electric connec-
tor (1) is plugged in properly.
Using a pocket tester (Ω scale), check for breaks be-
tween the cables of the stator [on the internal female
terminals, yellow cables (G)].
Also check the isolation of the stator mount.
Standard resistance value: 0.1 - 1Ω.
Standard resistance value
(between cables and stator mount):

6.3.4 CHECKING THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR

Remove the rear fairing, see 7.1.36 (REMOVING THE
REAR FAIRING).
Disconnect the three-way connector (1) (coloured
brown).
Disconnect the six-way connector (2) (coloured white).
a
CAUTION
When reassembling, make sure the electric connec-
tors (1-2) are plugged in properly.
Using a pocket tester (scale x 1MΩ), measure the re-
sistance between the cables indicated in the table be-
low from the regulator side (internal male terminals).
NOTE
The green (V) and white/red (Bi/R) cables are
double, though connected together.
Take the measurements on either of the two.

CAUTION
This measuring method is approximate; if possible,
check the correct operation of the recharging system
using another regulator in perfect condition.
If the resistance measured is incorrect, replace the
voltage regulator (3).
