Connect the electric tester across the battery
terminals. Disconnect the fuse and connect an
ammeter between the fuse terminals.
Attach a tachometer to the engine.
Start the engine and gradually increase the
engine speed to measure the limit voltage and
current.
Limit Voltage/Current: 14 15V/0.5A max.
If the limit voltage is not within the specified
range, check the regulator/rectifier. ( 14-5)
LIGHTING SYSTEM LIMIT VOLTAGE
INSPECTION
Remove the handlebar front cover. ( 2-2)
Measure the voltage with the electric
tester in the AC range.
Limit Voltage: 12 14V/ (5000rpm max.)
If the limit voltage is not within the specified
range, check the regulator/rectifier. ( 14-5)
Perform this test with a fully charged
