IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the ignition coil from
spark plug.
2. Remove the ignition coil cap.
3. Connect the dynamic spark tester
"1" (ignition checker "2") as
shown.
• Ignition coil "3"
• Spark plug "4"
A. For USA and CDN
B. Except for USA and CDN
4. Kick the kickstarter crank.
5. Check the ignition spark gap.
6. Start engine, and increase spark
gap until misfire occurs. (for USA
and CDN only)
CHECKING THE COUPLERS,
LEADS AND IGNITION COIL
CONNECTION
1. Check:
• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→Repair or replace.
• Ignition coil and spark plug as
they are fitted
Push in the ignition coil until it
closely contacts the spark plug
hole in the cylinder head cover.CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed→
Replace.
Conductive while it is freed→Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
× 1".
2. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"
Tears/damage→ Replace.
CHECKING THE MAIN SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Main switch conduction
Not conductive while the main switch
is moved to "ON"→Replace.
Conductive while the main switch is
moved to "OFF"→Replace.
Set the tester selection position to
"Ω×1".
2. Inspect:
• Main switch indicator light
Use 12 V battery.
Indicator light does not come on→
Replace.
3. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"
Tears/damage→Replace.
CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL
1. Remove the ignition coil cap.
2. Inspect:
• Primary coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace. Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)
Tester (+) lead→Black lead "1"
Tester (-) lead→Black lead "2"

Conductive (while the
engine stop switch is
pushed)

main switch is moved
to "ON")

LIGHTING SYSTEM
INSPECTION STEPS
Refer to the following flow chart when inspecting the lighting system for possible problems.
• Remove the following parts before inspection.
1. Seat
2. Fuel tank
3. Left side cover
• Use the following special tools in this inspection.
Check the bulb and bulb socket. No good→Replace the bulb and/or bulb socket.
OK↓
Check the taillight (LEDs). No good→Replace the taillight assembly.
OK↓
Check the AC magneto. (Lighting coil) No good→Replace.
OK↓
Check the entire lighting system proper for con-
nections.Improperly
connected→Repair or replace.
OK↓
Check the rectifier/regulator. (Out-put voltage) No good→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 resistance
Out 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 voltage
Out of specification→Replace
rectifier/regulator. Battery (+) terminal→Blue lead
"2"
Battery (-) terminal→Black lead
"3"
Tester (+) lead→Yellow lead "1"
Tester (-) lead→Ground "2"
