CHECKING THE STARTER RELAY

• Disconnect the two-way connector (1) (white).

On reassembly, make sure that the electrical

connector (1) is correctly coupled.

• Slide the relay (2) from its hooks.

• Slide out the two rubber protections (3-4).

• Disconnect the cables from the relevant relay (2)

terminals.

• Energize (12 V) the two terminals inside the

connector (1) from the relay side.

• Use a tester (set as an ohmmeter) to check the

continuity between the two screw contacts on the

relay (2).

If the resulting values do not correspond to those

given, replace the relay (2).

CAUTION

CHECKING THE STOP LIGHTS RELAY

To check the working state of the relay, proceed as

follows:

• To access the relay, lift the saddle and remove the

left rear light, see (REPLACING THE REAR

LIGHT BULBS).

• Energize (12 V) the two male terminals (85-86);

• Use a tester (set as an ohmmeter) to check the

continuity between the other two terminals (87-

30).
