MAIN HARNESS CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Remove the front covers. (

2-2)
Remove the regulator/rectifier 4P coupler and
check for continuity between the wire harness
terminals according to the following :
Item (Wire Color) Judgment
Between battery (red)
and engine ground Battery has
voltage
Between ground (green)
and engine ground
Continuity exists
Between c.d.i wire
(black/blue) and engine
ground (Remove the auto
bystarter coupler and turn
the lighting switch OFF
for inspection)

REGULATOR/RECTIFIER
REMOVAL
Remove the regulator/rectifier lock nut and
disconnect the regulator/rectifier wire
coupler.
Measure the resistances between the
regulator/rectifier wire terminals. Replace the
regulator/rectifier if the readings are not
within the specifications in the table below.


Due to the semiconductor in circuit, it
is necessary to use a specified tester for
accurate testing. Use of an improper
tester or measurements in an improper
range may give false readings.

Use a Sanwa Electric Tester or Kowa
Electric Tester for testing.
