TESTING/REPLACEMENT
Side Stand Switch
See
Figure 7-9. The side stand switch is a simple spring
loaded plunger. The switch completes a path to ground for
the ignition relay when the side stand is in the retracted posi-
tion. Test the switch as follows:
1. Unplug the 2-place side stand switch connector [60].
2. Test the switch using an ohmmeter.
a. With side stand down (1) (switch open), the switch
should show ∞ ohms (infinite ohms).
b. With side stand up (2) (switch closed), the switch
should show 0 ohms or little resistance.
3. Replace the assembly with a new switch if necessary.
Remove side stand switch from frame by removing two
nuts.
Clutch Switch
See
Figure 7-10. The clutch switch attaches to the clutch con-
trol lever bracket. The switch completes a path to ground for
the ignition relay and the starter relay when the clutch is dis-
engaged. Test the switch as follows:
1. Unplug the 2-place clutch switch connector [95].
2. Test the switch using an ohmmeter.
a. With clutch engaged (1) (switch open), the switch
should show ∞ ohms (infinite ohms).
b. With clutch disengaged (2) (switch closed), the
switch should show 0 ohms or little resistance.
3. Replace the assembly with a new switch if necessary.
