BATTERY CURRENT LEAK INSPECTION
• Remove the right frame cover. (!5-3)
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Disconnect the battery - lead wire.
• Connect the multi circuit tester between the - terminal and
- lead wire of the battery.

* 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 leakage is found, look for the part where the tester reads
under 3 mA through the couplers and connectors by removing
them one by one.
CHARGING OUTPUT INSPECTION
• Remove the right frame cover. (!5-3)
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min. with light-
ing switch turned ON and dimmer switch turned HI position.
Measure the DC voltage between the battery terminals + and
- with the multi circuit tester. If the tester reads under 13.4 V or
over 15.1 V, inspect the generator coil and regulator/rectifier.
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-charged
condition.
