CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION
CURRENT LEAKAGE INSPECTION
Remove the seat
(page
2-4),
Turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the
negative
(-)
cable from the battery.
Connect the ammeter
(+J
probe to
the
negative
H
cable and the ammeter

With the
ignit
ion switch turned to OFF, check for
current
leakage.
•
When measuring current using a tester, set it to a
high range, and
then
bring the
range
down to
an
appropriate
level.
Current
flow higher
than the
range
select
ed may blowout the fuse in the tes-
ter.
•
While measuring current, do not turn the ignition
switch ON. A sudden surge of current may blow
out the fuse in the tester.

If curren
t
leakage exceeds the specified value, a
shorted circuit is likely.
Locate the short by disconnecting connections one
by
one and measuri
ng
the current.
CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION
Remove the seat (page 2-4).
Be sure the battery is in good condition
before
per-
formi ng this test.
Warm
up
the engine to normal operating tempera-
ture.
Connect the multi meter between the battery posi-
tive
(+)
and negative
H
terminals.
NOTE
:
•
To
prevent
a short, make absolutely certain
which are the positive
(+)
and negative
H
termi-
nals
or cables.
•
Do not
disconnect
the
battery or any cable
in
the
charging system without first switching off the
ignitio
n
switch. Fai lure to follow this precaution
can damage the tester or electrical componen
t
s.
With the
headlights
on, and measure the voltage on
the
multi meter when
the
engine runs at 5,000
rpm
(min"
).
