ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 9-9 Step 5 1) Measure the generator no-load performance. (9-11) Is the generator no-load performance OK? YES Go to Step 6. NO Faulty generator Step 6 1) Inspect the regulator/rectifier. (9-11) Is the regulator/rectifier OK? YES Go to Step 7. NO Faulty regulator/rectifier Step 7 1) Inspect wirings. Is the wirings OK? YES Faulty battery NO • Short circuit of wire harness • Poor contact of couplers Battery overcharges E • Faulty regulator/rectifier • Faulty battery L • Poor contact of generator lead wire coupler P INSPECTION M BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE • Remove the front seat. (8-7)A • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. S • 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. 09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set Battery current (leak): Under 3 mA Tester knob indication: Current (, 20 mA) A  * In case of a large current leak, turn the tester to high range first to avoid tester damage. * Do not turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position when measuring current.
