SOR
REMOVAL
• Remove the front seat. (0=8-6)
• Lift and support the fuel tank. (0=5-5)
• Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor coupler.
• Keep the motorcycle upright.
• Place a rag under the sensor and remove the engine coolant
temperature sensor
CD.
INSPECTION
• Check the engine coolant temperature sensor by testing it at
the bench as shown in the figure. Connect the temperature
sensor
CD
to a circuit tester and place it in the oil contained in
a pan, which is placed on a stove.
• Heat the oil to raise its temperature slowly and read the col-
umn thermometer (2) and the ohmmeter.
• If the temperature sensor ohmic value does not change in the
proportion indicated, replace it with a new one.
