ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-3
SEMI-CONDUCTOR EQUIPPED PART
• Be careful not to drop the part which has a semi-conductor
built in such as a CDI unit and regulator/rectifier.
• When inspecting these parts, follow the instructions carefully.
Failure to follow the proper procedure can cause damage to
these parts.
BATTERY
• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water
replenishment).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.
• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.
WIRING PROCEDURE
• Properly route the wire harness according to the “WIRING
HARNESS ROUTING” section. (
7-11)
USING THE MULTI-CIRCUIT TESTER
• Properly use the multi-circuit tester
+
and
-
probes.
Improper use can cause damage to the motorcycle and
tester.
• If the voltage and current values are not known, begin mea-
suring in the highest range.
• When measuring the resistance, make sure that no voltage is
applied. If voltage is applied, the tester will be damaged.
• After using the tester, be sure to turn the switch to the OFF
position.
