Stator/Magneto Coil
Disconnect the two-wire connector in front of the
steering post.
VOLTAGE (No Load)
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for this
test.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the white wire.
3. With the rear axle supported and the wheels off the
floor, start the engine and run at 3000 RPM or to
the RPM limiter. The meter must read 16.0-19.5
volts.
RESISTANCE
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the white wire.
3. The meter must less than 1 ohm.
Choke Circuit
Disconnect the white two-pin connector adjacent to
the steering post.
CHOKE VOLTAGE
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for this
test.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the green/black
wire.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
The meter must read 4.0-5.5 volts.
Battery
For battery-related information, see Section 2.
Brakelight Switch
The switch connector is the two individual single con-
nectors located beneath the left-front fender.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position.
VOLTAGE
(Wiring Harness Connector)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position;
then turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the green/yellow
wire; then connect the black tester lead to a suit-
able ground.
3. The meter must read battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter reads no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse, switch, or the main
wiring harness.
NOTE: If the meter reads battery voltage, the
main wiring harness is good; test the switch/com-
ponent, the connector, and the switch wiring har-
ness for resistance.
RESISTANCE
(Brakelight Switch Connector)
NOTE: The brake lever must be compressed for
this test. Also, the ignition switch must be in the
OFF position.
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the green/yellow
wire.
3. When the lever is compressed, the meter must read
less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter reads more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing
resistance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
