Check for continuity between the green/red wire
(ground line) terminal and ground.
If there is continuity when the transmission is in
neutral or when the clutch is disengaged and the
side stand is retracted, the ground circuit is normal.
(In n?.utral, ther?. is a slight resistance due to the di-
ode.)
