(7-10)
Correct
Inspect wirings. Incorrect • Short circuit of wire harness
• Poor contact of couplers
Correct
• Faulty battery
Others
Battery overcharge • Faulty regulator/rectifier

• Poor contact of generator lead wire coupler
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (6-3)
• Remove the tray.
• 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
R Tester knob indication: Current (
, 20 mA)
* 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.
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
