6-8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (!5-3)
• Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
• Disconnect the
- battery lead wire.
Measure the current between the
- battery terminal and - bat-
tery lead wire using the multi circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.
# 09900-25008: Multi circuit tester set
$ Tester knob indication: Current (%
%%
%, 20 mA)
& Battery current (leak): Under 1 mA
"
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
REGULATED VOLTAGE
• Remove the seat. (!5-3)
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min with dim-
mer switch turned “HI” position.
Measure the DC voltage between the
+ and - battery termi-
nals using the multi circuit tester. If the voltage is not within the
specified value, inspect the generator and regulator/rectifier.
(!6-9, 6-10)
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-
charged condition.

* Because the current leak might be large, turn the
tester to high range first to avoid tester damage.
* Do not turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position
when measuring current.
