Ignition Switch
The connector is the white one in front of the steering
post.
VOLTAGE
NOTE: Perform this test on the lower side of the
connector.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red meter lead to the red wire; then con-
nect the black meter lead to ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, trouble-
shoot the battery, main fuse, or the main wiring harness.
RESISTANCE
NOTE: Perform this test on the upper side of the
connector.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the black wire.
4. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
5. With the red tester lead connected to the red wire,
connect the black tester lead to the black/white wire.
6. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS position.
8. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the brown wire.
9. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
Handlebar Control
Switches
Two white connectors join the handlebar control switch
pigtail to the main harness.
The connectors are located in front of the steering post.
NOTE: These tests should be made on the switch
side of the connectors with the connectors uncoupled.
RESISTANCE (HI Beam)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the lavender wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the brown/black wire.
3. With the dimmer switch in the HI position, the meter
must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/component
or the connector.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect the red tester lead to the white wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter reads more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/component
or the connector.
RESISTANCE (Starter Button)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/white wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the yellow/red
wire.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
4. With the starter button released, the meter must show
an open circuit.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component or connector.
RESISTANCE (Emergency Stop)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the brown/blue wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the black/white
wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter must
show an open circuit.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/component
or the connector.
RESISTANCE (Reverse Override)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the green/red wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the blue/red
wire. The meter must show an open circuit.
3. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show less than 1 ohm of resistance.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component or connector.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
