TESTING STARTER ON MOTORCYCLE
START RELAY TEST
1.
See
. The start relay can be tested using the
motorcycle's 12-volt battery and a multimeter.
a.
Unplug connector from relay.
b.
To energize the relay connect relay terminal "85" to
the negative battery terminal, and relay terminal "86"
to the positive battery terminal. Some diodes contain
internal diodes. If the applied voltage isn't the correct
polarity, the diode could be damaged.
c.
Check for continuity between the "30" and "87" ter-
minals. A good relay shows continuity (continuity
tester lamp "on" or a zero ohm reading on the ohm-
meter). A malfunctioning relay will not show continuity
and must be replaced.
2.
If the start relay is functioning properly, proceed to

Current Draw Test
.
a.
(Ulysses),
(Firebolt). Unplug start relay from relay/fuse
block.
b.
See
. To energize the relay,
connect relay terminal "85" to the negative battery
terminal, and relay terminal "86" to the positive battery
terminal.
c.
Check for continuity between relay terminals "3" and
"5". A good relay shows continuity (continuity tester
lamp "on" or a zero ohm reading on the ohmmeter).
A malfunctioning relay will not show continuity and
must be replaced.
