IGNITION COIL
PRIMA RY CI RCU IT INSPECTI ON
Remove the seat and side covers.
Remove t he fuel tank (page 4-3).
Disconnect the 4 P coupler from the COl unit.
Check the COl unit couplers for loose connections or rusted
terminals.
Measure the resistance of the Black/ Yellow and Green wire
terminals of the COl unit 4P coupler.
STANDARD: 0 .1 - 0 .3 0 (20 ° C/G8 ° F)
If standard resistance is not obtained, remove the ignition coil
as follows:
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Disconnect the ignition primary wires and remove t he ignition
coil.
Measure Ihe primary coil resistance at the ignition coil wire ter-
minals.
STANDARD: 7 .4 - 11 .0
n
(20 ° C/68 ° F)
If the resistance is within range, check the primary wire termi·
nals of the ignition coil for loose wires, poor connect ions or an
open circuit in the wire harness.
If
there is no continuity, replace the ignition coil.
SECONOARY CIR CUIT INSPECTI ON
Remove the spark plug cap from the wire and measure the sec-
ondary coil resistance.
STANDARD: 3 .7- 4 .5 kfl (20 °C/68 ° F)
PERFORM ANC E TEST (Except U.S.A.I
Install the spark plug cap to the ignition coil.
Check the ignition coil with a COl tester.
NOTE
• Follow the tester manufact urer's instructions.
TOOL:
Spark adaptor

Not available in U.S.A.
Not available in U.S.A .
If
sparks fail to jump across the electrodes in the tester inspec-
tion window , replace the ignition coil with a new one.
ALTERNATOR EXCITER COIL
Disconnect the alternator wire terminals.
Measure the resistance between t he black/red wire and
ground.
RESISTANCE: 100 - 300
