14. BATTERY/CHARGING SYSTEM/
A.C. GENERATOR
PERFORMANCE TEST
Warm up the engine.
Open the seat and battery cover.
Stop the engine and open the fuse box.
Disconnect the wire lead from the fuse
terminal. Connect an ammeter between the
wire lead and fuse terminal as shown.
Connect the battery positive (+) terminal to
the voltmeter positive (+) probe and battery
negative (-) terminal to the voltmeter
negative (-) probe.
Start the engine, gradually increase engine
speed to test the output:
Charging Limit Voltage: 14.5±0.5V/8000rpm
If the limit voltage is not within the
specified range, check the regulator/ rectifier.
A.C. GENERATOR (CHARGING
COIL) INSPECTION
Disconnect the A.C. generator connector.
Measure the resistances between the
charging coil terminals (white–green) and
lighting coil terminals (yellow–green).
Resistances:
Refer to 8-3 for A.C. generator removal.
Use a fully charged battery to check the
charging system output.
Inspect with the engine installed.
