RPM Limiter



NOTE: The ATV is equipped with an ECM that cuts fuel spray and spark when maximum RPM is

approached. When the RPM limiter is activated, it could be misinterpreted as a high-speed misfire.

Stator Coil

VOLTAGE
(AC Generator - No Load)

The connector is a three-pin one in the harness coming
from the generator.

XR114A



NOTE: Test the connector that comes from the

engine.

1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.

2. Test between the three black wires for a total of three

tests.

3. With the engine running at a constant 5000 RPM, all

voltage tests must be within specifications.



NOTE: If the voltage test fails but the resistance

check is correct with no insulation break down, check
the rotor. If the rotor check is good, replace the stator.

RESISTANCE (AC Generator)

1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.

2. Test between the three black wires for a total of three

tests.

3. The meter reading must be within specification.

Regulator/Rectifier

The regulator/rectifier is located in front of the gas tank.

TESTING

1. Start engine and warm up to normal operating tem-

perature; then connect a multimeter to the battery as
follows.

2. Select the DC Voltage position; then connect the red

tester lead to the positive battery post and the black
tester lead to the negative battery post.

3. Start the engine and slowly increase RPM. The volt-

age should increase with the engine RPM to a maxi-
mum of 15.5 DC volts.



NOTE: If voltage rises above 15.5 DC volts, the reg-

ulator is faulty or a battery connection is loose or cor-
roded. Clean and tighten battery connections or
replace the regulator/rectifier. If voltage does not rise,
see EFI Sensors/Components in this section. If
charging coil voltage is normal, replace the regula-
tor/rectifier.

Component data can be retrieved using the CATT II. Utilize the Sensor Data screen.
