Electrical System Service Notes

Reference the following notes when diagnosing electrical
problems.
• The ignition system timing is non-adjustable. The
specifications in Chapter 1 are intended for reference
only.
• Refer to wiring diagram for stator and electrical
component resistance specifications.
• When measuring resistance of a component that has a
low resistance value (under 10 Ohms), remember to
subtract meter lead resistance from the reading.
Connect the leads together and record the resistance.
The resistance of the component is equal to tested value
minus the lead resistance.
• Become familiar with the operation of the meter. Be
sure leads are in the proper jack for the test being
performed (i.e. 10A jack for current readings). Refer to
the owner's manual included with the meter for more
information.
• Voltage, amperage, and resistance values included in
this manual are obtained with a Fluke™ 77 Digital
Multimeter (PV-43568). This meter is acceptable for
use when diagnosing electrical problems. Readings
obtained with other meters may differ.
• Pay attention to the prefix on the multimeter reading (K,
M, etc.) and the position of the decimal point.
• For resistance readings, isolate the component to be
tested. Disconnect it from the wiring harness or power
supply.

SWITCHES AND CONTROLS

Brake Lever Switches

Each brake lever utilizes an electrical brake switch that sends
voltage to activate the starter relay and brake light.
1. Locate the brake switches on each of the brake levers.
2. Disconnect wire harness from brake switch and connect an
ohmmeter across the two switch wires.
The reading should be infinite (•).
3. Apply brake the brake lever(s) and check for continuity
between switch contacts. Replace switch if there is no
continuity or if the resistance is greater than .5 ohms when
the brake is applied with slight pressure.
