ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Charging system inspections
Battery
Remove the saddle as described in the relevant paragraph to gain access to
the battery.
Disconnect the BLACK negative cable from the battery.
Measure current across the negative terminal of the battery and the negative
cable using an ammeter clamp. A reading greater than 0.5 mA indicates current
draw by some utility.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods, it is recommended to
disconnect the battery from the electrical system.

Regulated voltage
Remove the protection panel (as described in the relevant paragraph) to gain
access to the battery.
With the engine warmed up and running at slightly above 3,000 rpm, measure
voltage across the positive and negative terminal of the battery using a meter
(the battery must be charged when performing this test). If reading is outside a
14.0÷14.5 V, check generator and voltage regulator as described in the relevant
paragraph.
Voltage regulator inspection
With the ignition on and the battery charged (12.5-13 V), start the engine: if the
battery voltage does not increase (14 V) after around two minutes, it is neces-
sary to check the voltage regulator as well as the battery.
Voltage regulator
The voltage regulator (1) incorporates the diodes used to rectify the generator
current output.
It also incorporates an electronic device that adjusts charging voltage to battery
charge: if battery charge is low, charging voltage will be lower.
Do not disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running,
or the regulator will suffer irreparable damage.
