SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
mIJIIIL-- _
• A halogen headlight bulb becomes very hot while the headlight is ON, and remains hot for
a
while after it is turned OFF.
Be sure to let it cool down before servicing.
• Use an electric heating element
to
heat the water/coolant mixture for the thermosensor inspection. Keep all flam-
mable materials away from the electric heating element. Wear protective clothing, insulated gloves and eye protec-
tion.
• Note the following when replacing the halogen headlight bulb.
- Wear clean gloves while replacing the bulb. Do not put finger prints on the headlight bulb, as they may create hot spots
on the bulb and cause it to break.
- If you touch the bulb with your bare hands, clean it with a cloth moistened with alcohol to prevent its early failure.
- Be sure to install the dust cover after replacing the bulb.
• All plastic connectors have locking tabs that must be released before disconnecting, and must be aligned when recon-
necting.
• Always turn off the ignition switch before disconnecting any electrical component.
• A continuity test can be made with switches installed on the motorcycle.
• Check the battery condition before performing any inspection that requires proper battery voltage.
• If you disconnect the battery terminal, the trip meter memory is erased (:VT750CD/CD2 (After 2000), VT750C3/CD3).
