BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Belt tension should be checked periodically. If the belt slips when starter/generator motor operates, adjust belt
to correct tension.
1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
1, Page 1-3.
2. Remove the seat to access engine compartment. See Section 4 – Body and Trim.
3. Make sure the two pivot bolts (5) on the mounting bracket are finger tight. The carriage bolt (11) and hex nut (12)
are to be finger tight also (Figure 14-13, Page 14-11).
4. Push the starter/generator down so it is at the lowest point of its adjustment travel. With the starter/generator belt
in place around the drive clutch pulley, install the starter/generator belt (3) around the pulley (10) on the end
of the starter/generator.
5. Position a pry bar (13) between the top of the starter/generator mounting bracket (2) and the underside of the
starter/generator by passing the pry bar under the exhaust header.
6. While holding the pry bar, measure the belt tension using a Krikit
stores), or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 75 lb (101.7 N) or 45 lb (61
N) for an existing belt (Figure 14-14, Page 14-11).
7. While maintaining the tension, tighten the adjustment nut (12) to 144 in-lb (16.3 N·m). Tighten the two pivot bolts
(5) and hex nuts (7) to 23 ft-lb (31.2 N·m) (Figure 14-13, Page 14-11). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
8. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section 1, Page 1-3.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See General Warning on page 1-1.
TESTING THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See Test Procedure 11 – Voltage Regulator on page 12-19.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR REMOVAL

1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
1, Page 1-3.
2. Remove the electrical component box cover.
3. Disconnect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid, the yellow wire (4) at the bullet
connector, and the black wire (7) from the (NO) terminal of the kill limit switch and at the battery frame ground
(Figure 14-15, Page 14-13).
4. Remove the voltage regulator mounting screw (8) and remove the voltage regulator (9).
