Handlebar Control
Switches
The connectors are located on the right side of the ATV
next to the PDM. To access the connector, the electrical
cover must be removed.
 NOTE: These tests should be made on the switch
side of the connector.
RESISTANCE (HI Beam)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect one tester lead to the brown/black wire; then
connect the other tester lead to the lavender wire.
3. With the dimmer switch in the HI position, the meter
must show less than 1 ohm.
 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect one tester lead to the brown/black wire; then
connect the other tester lead to the white wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
 NOTE: If the meter reads resistance, replace the
switch.
RESISTANCE (Emergency Stop)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the one lead to the brown/lavender wire;
then connect the other tester lead to the black/white
wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter must
show an open circuit.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
RESISTANCE (Reverse Override)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect one tester lead to one lavender/red wire;
then connect the other tester wire to the green/red
wire. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
3. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show an open circuit.
 NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch.

Gear Position Switch

The gear position switch connector is located on the right
side of the engine over the V-belt housing.
To troubleshoot the switch, use the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the gear position switch from the main
harness at the connector; then connect the black tes-
ter lead to a suitable ground.
2. Select the OHMS position on the tester and connect
the red tester lead to the lavender/red wire; then
move the shift lever to the R (reverse) position. The
meter must read less than 1 ohm.
3. Move the red tester lead and shift lever in turn to the
light green/red wire and N (neutral) position,
white/black wire and H (high) position, and
white/red wire and L (low) position. The meter must
read less then 1 ohm in all positions. If not, the shift
linkage must be adjusted (see Periodic Maintenance -
Shift Lever) or the switch must be replaced.

Stator Coil

VOLTAGE
(AC Generator - Regulated Output)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
post; then connect the black tester lead to the nega-
tive battery post.
3. With the engine running at a constant 3000 RPM
(with the headlights on), the meter must show
14-15.5 DC volts.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 sec-
onds.
 NOTE: If voltage is lower than specified, test charg-
ing coil - no load.
