Service Information
General
Some wires have different colored bands around the near the connector. These are connected to order
wires which have same colour band. Couplers are connected to order couplers which have same
colour and same number of pins.
All couplers have locking tabs that must be released before disconnecting and aligned when
reconnecting.
To isolate an electrical failure, check the continuity of the electrical path through the part. A
continuity check can usually be made without removing the part from the motorcycle. Simply
disconnect the wires and connect a continuity tester or volt-ohmmeter to th terminals or connections.
In order to inspect that the electric continuity is between the secondary terminals, the continuity tester
is needed. If the coil resistance is in circuit or if inspecting the high resistance by the corrosion of
connecting part, the voit-ohmmeter is needed.
