ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
CHECKING THE COUPLERS AND
LEADS CONNECTION
1. Check:• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→ Repair or replace.
CHECKING THE STARTER
MOTOR OPERATION
1. Connect the positive battery ter- minal "1" and starter motor lead
"2" with a jumper lead "3".
Not operate →Repair or replace
the starter motor.
• A wire that is used as a jumper lead must have at least the same
capacity or more as that of the
battery lead, otherwise the jump-
er lead may burn.
• This check is likely to produce
sparks, therefore make sure
nothing flammable is in the vicin-
ity.
CHECKING THE STARTING
CIRCUIT CUT-OFF RELAY
1. Remove:• Starting circuit cut-off relay
2. Inspect: • Starting circuit cut-off relay con-duction
Use 12 V battery.
Not conductive while the battery is
connected →Replace.
Conductive while the battery is not
connected →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE STARTER RELAY
1. Remove:
• Starter relay
2. Inspect:
• Starter relay conductionUse 12 V battery.
Not conductive while the battery is
connected →Replace.
Conductive while the battery is not
connected →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE CLUTCH SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Clutch switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pulled →Re-
place.
Conductive while it is freed →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE DIODE
1. Remove the diode from wire har- ness.
2. Inspect: • Diode continuity
Use pocket tester (tester selec-
tion position Ω × 1)
Incorrect continuity →Replace.

LIGHTING SYSTEM
CHECKING THE TAILLIGHT
(LEDs)
1. Disconnect the taillight coupler.
2. Connect two jumper leads "1" from the battery terminals to the
respective coupler terminal as
shown.
3. Check: • LED (for proper operation)Does not light →Replace the tail-
light assembly.
• A wire that is used as a jumper lead must have at least the same
capacity of the battery lead, oth-
erwise the jumper lead may burn.
• This check is likely to produce sparks, therefore, make sure no
flammable gas or fluid is in the
vicinity.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect:
• Lighting coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace. CHECKING THE RECTIFIER/
REGULATOR
1. Connect the battery leads.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn on the headlight and taillight
by turning on the light switch.
4. Inspect:
• Out-put voltageOut of specification →Replace
rectifier/regulator.
