“∞” “0” CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY


Check each switch for continuity with the
pocket tester. If the continuity reading is incor-
rect, check the wiring connections and if nec-
essary, replace the switch.
“Ω×1”
CAUTION:
_

Never insert the tester probes into the cou-


pler terminal slots 1. Always insert the
probes from the opposite end of the cou-
pler, taking care not to loosen or damage
1
the leads.

Pocket tester
90980-03112

NOTE:
_

• Before checking for continuity, set the pocket


tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1” range.
• When checking for continuity, switch back
b and forth between the switch positions a few
times.

main switch, engine stop switch) are shown in
an illustration similar to the one on the left.
Br R The switch positions a are shown in the far
left column and the switch lead colors b are
shown in the top row in the switch illustration.
NOTE:
_

“ ” indicates a continuity of electricity


between switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuit
at the respective switch position).

The example illustration on the left shows


that:

CHECKING THE BULBS AND


BULB SOCKETS
Check each bulb and bulb socket for damage
or wear, proper connections, and also for con-
tinuity between the terminals.
Damage/wear → Repair or replace the
bulb, bulb socket or both.
Improperly connected → Properly connect.
No continuity → Repair or replace the bulb,
bulb socket or both.

TYPES OF BULBS
The bulbs used on this motorcycle are shown
in the illustration on the left.
• Bulbs a and b are used for the headlights
and usually use a bulb holder that must be
detached before removing the bulb. The
majority of these types of bulbs can be
removed from their respective socket by
turning them counterclockwise.
• Bulbs c is used for turn signal and tail/
brake lights and can be removed from the
socket by pushing and turning the bulb
counterclockwise.
• Bulbs d and e are used for meter and indi-
cator lights and can be removed from their
respective socket by carefully pulling them
out.

CHECKING THE BULBS AND BULB SOCKETS ELEC
CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE
BULBS
The following procedure applies to all of the
bulbs.
1. Remove:
• bulb
WARNING
_

Since the headlight bulb gets extremely


hot, keep flammable products and your
hands away from the bulb until it has
cooled down.

CAUTION:
_

• Be sure to hold the socket firmly when


removing the bulb. Never pull the lead,
otherwise it may be pulled out of the ter-
minal in the coupler.
• Avoid touching the glass part of the head-
light bulb to keep it free from oil, other-
wise the transparency of the glass, the
life of the bulb, and the luminous flux will
be adversely affected. If the headlight
bulb gets soiled, thoroughly clean it with
a cloth moistened with alcohol or lacquer
thinner.

2. Check:
• bulb (for continuity)
(with the pocket tester)
No continuity → Replace.

Pocket tester
90890-03112

NOTE:
_

Before checking for continuity, set the pocket


tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1” range.

▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Connect the positive tester probe to termi-
nal 1 and the negative tester probe to ter-
minal 2, and check the continuity.
b. Connect the positive tester probe to termi-
nal 1 and the negative tester probe to ter-
minal 3, and check the continuity.
c. If either of the readings indicate no continu-
ity, replace the bulb.

same manner as described in the bulb section;
however, note the following.

▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Install a good bulb into the bulb socket.
b. Connect the pocket tester probes to the
respective leads of the bulb socket.

of the readings indicate no continuity,
replace the bulb socket.
