FAN MOTOR CURRENT DRAW
A current draw test will provide a good indication of fan
motor condition. A worn or damaged fan motor will draw
more current, which causes a reduction in blade speed
and reduced cooling.
1. Turn key to off.
2. Disconnect connector at LR 60 and place a DC
ammeter in series between the fan motor and
ground as shown at right. Use the Red/White wire
in the wiring harness as the power supply.
3. Be sure fan blade is free to rotate.
4. T urn ignition key and engine stop switch to “ON”
position. Read the current draw on ammeter with
fan running.
5. If the fan motor draws more than 6.5 Amps, replace
the motor .
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
1. Remove fuel tank.
2. Disconnect wire harness from switch.
3. Connect an ohmmeter across switch contacts. Reading should be infinite (Ö).
4. Apply brake at handlebar lever and check for continuity between switch contacts. Replace switch if there is no
continuity or greater than .5 ohms resistance when the brake is applied with slight pressure.
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Follow procedure, Headlight Lamp Replacement, on page 10.2 to access connector . Probe the headlamp plug
wires (Brown and Yellow) at back of connector . Turn headlight on. Test for battery voltage across the connections.
NEUTRAL LIGHT CIRCUIT OPERATION
Power is supplied to the transmission switch from the Red/White wire when the key and engine stop switch is
on. When neutral is selected, power flows through the switches to the Green/White wire, through the lamp and
to ground via the Brown wire.
If the light is not on when neutral is selected, check the bulb. If the bulb is good, check the wiring, transmission
switches, and lamp socket ground path.
Connect ammeter lead
to Or/Blk connector on
LR 60 and the other lead
to ground.
Fan Motor Current Draw:
Less Than 6.5 Amps
