14. BATTERY/CHARGING SYSTEM/ A.C. GENERATOR AGILITY 50 Terminal CHARGING SYSTEM SHORT CIRCUIT TEST Disconnect the ground wire from the battery and connect an ammeter across the battery negative (-) terminal and the ground wire. Turn the ignition switch OFF and check for short circuit. Connect the electric tester positive (+) terminal to ground wire and the tester negative (-) terminal to the battery negative (-) terminal. If any abnormality is found, check the ignition Battery switch and wire harness for short circuit . (-) Terminal (+) Terminal CURRENT TEST This inspection must be performed with an electric tester when the battery is fully charged. Warm up the engine for inspection. Connect the electric tester across the battery terminals. Disconnect the fuse and connect an ammeter between the fuse terminals. Attach a tachometer to the engine. Start the engine and gradually increase the engine speed to measure the limit voltage and current. Limit Voltage/Current: 1415V/0.5A max. fuse (5000rpm max.) Headlight Wire Coupler If the limit voltage is not within the specified range, check the regulator/rectifier. ( 14-5) LIGHTING SYSTEM LIMIT VOLTAGE INSPECTION Remove the handlebar front cover. ( 2-2) Measure the voltage with the electric tester in the AC range. Limit Voltage: 1214V/ (5000rpm max.) If the limit voltage is not within the specified range, check the regulator/rectifier. ( 14-5) Perform this test with a fully charged battery. 14-4
