ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Solenoid starter inspection
Remove the saddle as described in Section "E".
Loosen screw (2) and remove the cover (1).
Disconnect the starter relay connector (3).
Disconnect the cables (4) at the battery negative terminal to avoid possible
short circuits during disassembly.
Disconnect the starter motor and battery positive cable wires at relay end.
Apply 12 Volts to relay terminals (5) and (6) and check for continuity betwe-
en terminals B-M. Do not feed battery voltage to the relay longer than 5
seconds or the relay might overheat, leading to winding damage. Use
a multimeter to establish whether the winding is open circuit or resistance
exists. A winding in good condition will give the following resistance readings.
Meter scale setting: Ohm
Starter relay resistance. Standard: 3-6
