9-16 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• Tighten the starter motor lead wire mounting bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
Lead wire mounting bolt: 6 N·m (0.6 kgf-m, 4.5 lb-ft)
STARTER RELAY INSPECTION
• Remove the front seat. (8-7)
• Disconnect the battery - lead wire from the battery.
• Remove the frame cover. (8-8)
• Remove the starter relay cover 1.
• Disconnect the starter motor lead wire 2, battery lead wire 3
and starter relay coupler 4.
• Remove the starter relay 5.
• Apply 12 V to A and B terminals and check for continuity
between the positive and negative terminals using the
multi-circuit tester. If the starter relay clicks and continuity is
found, the relay is ok.
09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set
Tester knob indication: Continuity test ()
Measure the relay coil resistance between the terminals using
the multi-circuit tester. If the resistance is not within the specified
value, replace the starter relay with a new one.
09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set
Starter relay resistance: 3 – 6 Ω
Do not apply battery voltage to the starter relay for
more than five seconds, since the relay coil may over-
heat and get damaged.
