• Some wires have different colored bands around them near the connector. These are connected to other wires which cor·
respond with the band color.
• All plastic plugs have locking tabs that must be released before disconnecting, and must be aligned when reconnecting.

• To isolate an electrical failure, check the continuity of the electrical path through the part. A continuity check can usually
be made without removing the part from the motorcycle. Simply disconnect the wires and connect a continuity tester or
volt-ohmmeter to the terminals or connections.
• A continuity teste r is useful when checking to find out whether or not there is an electrical connection between the two
points. An ohmmeter is needed to measure the resistance of a circuit, such as when there is a specific coil resistance involv·
ed, or when check ing for high resistance caused by corroded connections.
