8-20 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• Shift the transmission into the neutral, and then turn the igni-
tion switch to the "ON" position.
• Pull the clutch lever.
• Press the starter button and allow the engine to crank for a few
seconds, and then measure the pickup coil peak voltage.
• Repeat the above procedure a few times and measure the high-
est peak voltage.
' Tester knob indication: Voltage (()
# Pickup coil peak voltage: More than 1.5 V
If the peak voltage is lower than the specified values, check the
peak voltage at the pickup coil lead wire coupler.
• Remove the secondary gear case cover.
• Disconnect the pickup coil lead wire coupler and connect the
multi circuit tester with the peak volt adaptor.
+ Probe: Blue lead wire
- Probe: Green lead wire
Measure the pickup coil peak voltage at the pickup coil lead wire
coupler, in the same manner as on the ignitor coupler.
' Tester knob indication: Voltage (()
# Pickup coil peak voltage: More than 1.5 V
If the peak voltage on the pickup coil lead wire coupler is ok but
on the ignitor coupler is out of specification, the wire harness
must be replaced. If both peak voltages are out of specification,
the generator must be replaced and e-checked.
PICKUP COIL RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between the lead wires and ground. If
the resistance is not specified value, the pickup coil must be re-
placed.

# Pickup coil resistance : 160 – 300 Ω (Green – Blue)
: ∞ ∞ Ω (Green – Ground)
