Preparatory work
-
Press and hold the kill switch Q9 while the engine is idling until
the engine stops.
-
Remove the air filter box cover. (

p. 136)
Main work
-
Measure the current between 12 V battery ground (-) and the
negative cable.

Info
I
The value of the open-circuit current applies only to
vehicles in the original condition, i.e., without addi
tional power consumers.
I
���
imum open-circuit cur-
I
< 1.0 mA
If the measured value is greater than the specified value:
-
Disconnect the voltage regulator from the wiring har
ness and perform the measurement again.
-
Check the capacitor. (

p. 141)
Finishing work
-
Connect the negative cable of the 12 V battery. (
ra!l
p. 136)
-
Mount the seat. (

-
Install the air filter box cover. (

Condition
The 12 V battery is disconnected.
-
Remove the capacitor.
-
Discharge the capacitor by bridging the two contacts.
-
Connect the capacitor to a 12 V test lamp to a connection
and connect to the 12 V battery as shown in the figure.
Info
As the capacitor charge increases, the test lamp
becomes dimmer.
»
The bulb lights up for: 0.5 ... 2.0 s
The capacitor is OK.
»
The bulb lights up for: < 0.5 s
Change the capacitor.
»
The bulb lights up for: > 2.0 s
Change the capacitor.
