SERVICE INFORMATION

GENERAL

•    Some wires have different colored bands around them near the connector. These are connected to other wires which cor-respond to the band color.

•    Ali plastic connectors have locking tabs that must be released before disconnecting, and must be aligned when reconnecting.

•    To isolate an electrical failure, check the continuity of the electrical path through the part. A continuity check can usually be madę without removing the part from the motorcycle. Simply disconnect the wires and connect a continuity tester or volt-ohmmeter to the terminals or connections.

•    A continuity tester is useful when checking to find out whether or not there is an electrical connection between the two points. An ohmmeter is needed to measure the resistance of a Circuit, such as when there is a specific coil resistance in-volved, or when checking for high resistance caused by corroded connections.

•    For the inspection of the thermosensor and thermostatic switch, refer to section 5.
