9-16 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• Install the starter motor to the engine.
• Tighten the starter motor mounting bolts and lead wire bolt.
(10-16)
Starter motor mounting bolt: 6 N·m (0.6 kgf-m, 4.5 lb-ft)
Starter motor lead wire bolt: 5 N·m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.5 lb-ft)
STARTER RELAY INSPECTION
• Remove the front seat. (8-8)
• Disconnect the battery lead wire from the battery.
• Remove the starter relay cover.
• Disconnect the starter motor lead wire , battery lead wire
and starter relay coupler .
• Remove the starter relay .
• Apply 12 V to " and # terminals and check for continuity
between the positive and negative terminals using the
multi-circuit tester. If the starter relay clicks and continuity is
found, the relay is OK.
09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set
Tester knob indication: Continuity test ()
Measure the relay coil resistance between the terminals using
the multi-circuit tester. If the resistance is not within the specified
value, replace the starter relay with a new one.
09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set
Starter relay resistance: 3 – 6 Ω
Do not apply battery voltage to the starter relay for
more than five seconds, since the relay coil may over-
heat and get damaged.
