ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-7
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (!6-4)
• 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.
# 09900-25008: Multi circuit tester set
$ Battery current (leak): Under 3 mA
% 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.
* 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.
Measure the generator no-load
voltage. (
