FAN MOTOR CURRENT DRAW
A current draw test will provide a good indication of fan
motorcondition. Awornordamagedfanmotorwilldraw
more current, which causes a reduction in blade speed
and reduced cooling.
1. Disconnect the Red/White wire from the fan motor.
2. Connect a DC ammeter in series between the
battery and fan motor as shown at right. Use the
Red/White wire in the wiring harness as the power
supply.
3. Be sure fan blade is free to rotate.
4. T urn ignition key and engine stop switch to “ON”
position. Read the current draw on ammeter with
fan running.
5. If the fanmotordrawsmorethan6.5Amps, replace
the motor.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
1. Remove fuel tank.
2. Disconnect wire harness from switch.
3. Connect an ohmmeter across switch contacts. Reading should be infinite (∞).
4. Applybrakeathandlebarleverandcheckforcontinuitybetweenswitchcontacts. Replaceswitchifthereisno
continuity or greater than .5 ohms resistance when the brake is applied with slight pressure.
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Remove the headlight pod cover. Probe the headlamp plug wires (Brown and Yellow) at back ofconnector. Turn
headlight on. Test for battery voltage across the connections.
NEUTRAL LIGHT CIRCUIT OPERATION
Power is supplied to the transmission switch from the Red/White wire when the key is on. When neutral is se-
lected, power flows through the switch to the Green/White wire, through the lamp and to ground via the Brown
wire.
If the light is not on when neutral is selected, check the bulb. If the bulb is good, check the wiring, transmission
switch, and lamp socket ground path.
