WORKING PROCEDURES
All the plastic plugs are fitted with blocking tongues that must be released
before removing the plugs and aligned when the plugs are re-connected.
In order to isolate an electrical problem, always check the continuity in
the current path.
A continuity check is usually executed without removing the component
from the motorcycle; simply disconnect the wires and connect them to a
tester connector or ohmmeter.
