15-14 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• Insert the needle pointed probe
A
to the lead wire coupler.
NOTE:
Use the special tool (needle-point probe), to prevent the rubber
of the water proof coupler from damage.
• Measure the ignition coil primary peak voltage by depressing
the kick starter lever several times forcefully.

IGNITION COIL/PLUG CAP INSPECTION
• Remove the seat, radiator covers and fuel tank.
(
5-2, 13-2, -3)
• Disconnect the ignition coil/plug cap lead wire coupler, and
then remove the ignition coil/plug cap. (
2-7)
• Measure the ignition coil/plug cap resistance.
Ignition coil/plug cap resistance
09900-25008: Multi circuit tester set
Tester knob indication: Resistance (
Ω
)
If the resistance is not within the standard range, replace the
ignition coil/plug cap with a new one.
Do not touch the tester probes and spark plugs to pre-
vent an electric shock while testing.
