INSPECTION

BATTERY LEAK CURRENT INSPECTION
• Remove the front seat and right frame cover. (See p.
5-1.)
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Disconnect the battery
• Connect the tester between the battery terminal and
the battery lead wire.
NOTE:
Leakage is evident if the reading is over 1mA.
Battery current leak: Under 1mA
A CAUTION
* Because the current leak might be large, turn the
tester to the high range first to avoid te ster
damage. * Do not turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position when measuring the current.
When checking to find the excessive current leak, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each
part.
CHARGING OUTPUT INSPECTION
• Remove the front seat and right frame cover. (See p.
5-1.)
• Start the engine, turn the lighting switch to ON and the
dimmer switch to HI, and run the engine at 5 000 r/min.
Measure the DC voltage between the
terminals with a tester. If the tester reads under 13.5V or
over 15.0V, inspect the stator coil and regulator/rectifier.
A CAUTION
If the tester is set for current or re si stance readings
and voltage is applied across the test probe s,
damage will result. Therefore, it i s important that the
tester knob on the tester be set to the proper
position before making any measurements.
NOTE:
When mak ing this test, be sure that the battery is fully-
charged.
Charging output
Standard: 13.5-15.0V at 5 000 r/min.
