ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 8-9
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (
!
7-4)
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Disconnect the battery
-
lead wire.
Measure the current between
-
battery terminal and the
-
bat-
tery lead wire using the multi circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.

Battery current (leak): 3 mA and less
%
Tester knob indication: Current (
&
, 20 mA)
"
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
REGULATED VOLTAGE
• Remove the seat. (
!
7-4).
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min. with the
dimmer switch turned HI position.
Measure the DC voltage between the
+
and
-
battery termi-
nals using the multi circuit tester. If the voltage is not within the
specified value, inspect the generator and regulator/rectifier.
(
!
8-10 and 8-11)
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-
charged condition.

Charging output (Regulated voltage):
14.0 – 15.5 V at 5 000 r/min.
* Because the current leak might be large, turn the
tester to high range first to avoid tester damage.
* Do not turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position
when measuring current.
