CHECKING CHARGE VOLTAGE
• Check battery fluid level,
2.4.3.
• Check battery voltage,
2.4.1.
• Start the engine and rev it up to 5000 rpm (rotate
throttle twistgrip up to 1/4th of travel).
• Set the light switch to “ ”.
• Measure DC voltage across the positive (+) and
negative (–) battery terminals using a multimeter.
• If the reading found is less than 13 V or more than 15
V:
• Test alternator operation under no-load conditions and
check continuity of alternator and voltage regulator.
Correct charge voltage: 13-15 V(DC) at 5000 rpm.
