ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-11
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Remove the seat. (!5-4)
• Remove the luggage box. (!5-4)
• Disconnect the battery

- lead wire.
• Measure the current between

- battery terminal and the

-
battery lead wire using the multi-circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.
$ Battery current (leak): Under 1 mA

% Tester knob indication: Current (&, 20 mA)

When checking for excessive current leakage, remove the cou-
plers and connectors, one by one, so as to locate the position of
trouble.
CHARGING OUTPUT
• Remove the seat. (!5-4)
• Remove the luggage box. (!5-4)
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min with the
dimmer switch turned HI position.
• Measure the DC voltage between the

+ and

- battery termi-
nals using the multi-circuit tester. If the voltage is not within
the specified value, inspect the stator coil, rectifier and IC reg-
ulator mounted in the generator. (!6-16 and -17)
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-
charged condition.
$ Charging output (regulated voltage)
Standard: 13.6 – 14.4 V at 5 000 r/min

* 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.
