CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR CONTINUITY

With the engine off:

• Remove the right side panel, see (REMOVING

THE SIDE PANELS).

• Disconnect the regulator wires connector (1).

• Using a portable tester, test the continuity be-

tween the yellow wires (G) of the stator.

• Also, check the isolation of the stator support.

Standard resistance: 0.1 - 1 Ω

Standard resistance between wires and stator

support: ∞ (infinity)

VOLTAGE REGULATOR

• Remove the rear part of the fairing, see (REMOV-

ING THE REAR PART OF THE FAIRING).

• Remove the right side panel, see (REMOVING

THE SIDE PANELS).

• Disconnect the connectors (1) and (2).

• Using a portable tester (scale x 1 kΩ), test (from

the regulator side) the resistance between the

wires indicated in the table below.

• If the resistance reading is incorrect, change the

regulator.

CAUTION

This inspection method is only approximate.

If possible, substitute a voltage regulator that you

know works, to check the charging circuit.
