DIAGNOSTICS IF THE IGNITION SYSTEM WERE TO STOP WORKING (NO OR INTERMITTENT SPARK)
Procedure
Check:
1. Fuse
2. Battery
3. Spark plug
4. Amplitude of ignition spark
5. Spark plug cap resistance
6. Ignition winding resistance 7. Main switch
8. Engine stop switch
9. Sidestand switch
10. Neutral switch
11. Clutch switch
12. Pick-up coil resistance
13. Wiring connections (whole connection sys- tem)
NOTE:
Before making the inspections mentioned, remove the following parts:
1. Seat
2. Rear cowling 3. Fuel tank
4. Cowling (headlight)
•To check functioning defects use the following special tools.
Dinamic spark tester: P/N. 90890-06754
Pocket tester:P/N. 90890-03112
1. Fuse
•Check the fuse for continuity.
Refer to “CHECKING THE FUSES” in
Chapter 3.
•Is the fuse OK?
YES
2. Battery
•Check the condition of the battery.
Refer to “CHECKING AND CHARGING
THE BATTERY” in Chapter 3.
Min. open-circuit voltage:
2.8 V or more at 20°C (68°F)
•Is the battery OK?
NO
Replace the fuse.
NO
•Clean the battery terminals.
•Recharge or replace the battery.
YES

3. Spark plug.
•Check the conditions of the spark plug.
•Check the type of spark plug used.
•Check the electrodes gap.
Standard spark plug: DPR8EA-9 (NGK), DPR9EA-9
4. Amplitude of the ignition spark.
•Detach the spark plug cap from the spark
plug.
•Connect the dynamic spark tester (1) as
shown in the figure.
(2) Spark plug cover (3) Spark plug
•Turn the main switch ON.
•Check the amplitude of the ignition spark.
•Start the engine and increase the ampli-
tude until the ignition becomes discontin-
uous.
Electrodes gap: DPR8EA-9, DPR9EA-9 (NGK)
0.8 ~ 0.9 mm
YES
OUT OF SPECIFICATION
Correct the electrodes gap or replace the spark
plug.
Spark amplitude if the ignition
system is efficient: 6.0 mm
THE IGNITION SYSTEM IS INEFFICIENT
OR THERE IS NO SPARK
IN COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS
Minimum spark amplitude.

9. Sidestand switch.
•Disconnect the sidestand switch connec-
tor (Black and Black) from the wire har-
ness.
•Connect the pocket tester ( Ωx 1) to the
sidestand switch cables. Refer to “SWITCH CHECK” in Chapter 3.

STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATION
The starting circuit on this model consists of the
starter motor, starter relay, and the starting circuit
cut-off relay. If the engine stop switch is on “RUN”
and the main switch is on “ON” (both switches are
closed), the starter motor can operate only if:
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the
starter from operating when neither of these con-
ditions have been met. In this instance, the start-
ing circuit cut-off relay is open so current cannot
reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above conditions have
been met however, the starting circuit cut-off relay
is closed, and the engine can be started by press-
ing the starter switch.
