VOLTA
GE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER
Testing
Complete
te
sting
of
the voltage regulator/
rectifier requires a special
Suzuki tester and should
be tested
by
a Suzuki dealer.
The
dea
l
er
will ei
ther
test the voltage
regulator/rectifier with the special tool
or
perform
a
"remove and replace" test to sec if the voltage
regulator/rectifier
is
faulty. This type
of
test is
expensive
if
performed
by
yourself. Remember
if
you
pu rcha
se
a new voltage regulator/rectifier and
it does
"at
solve your particular charging system
problem. you cannot return the unit for refund.
Most motorcycle dealers will
"or accept returns on
any electrical component since they could be dam-
aged
internally even though they look okay
externally.
Make sure all connections between the
va
ri
ous
components arc clean and tight. Be sure that the
wiring connectors
are
pushed together firmly to
help keep out moisture.
