Chapter 8 Electrical system 8 3 Most of the time the problem is due to a loose connection Keep in mind that some circuits only receive voltage when the ignition key is in the On position One method of finding short circuits is to remove the fuse and The machines covered by this manual are equipped with a 12 volt connect a test light or voltmeter in its place to the fuse terminals There electrical system should be no load in the circuit it should be switched off Move the The regulaior rectifier maintains the charging system output wiring harness from side to side while watching the test light If the within the specified range to prevent overcharging and converts the bulb lights there is a short to ground earth somewhere in that area AC alternating current output of the alternator to DC direct current to probably where insulation has rubbed off a wire The same test can be power the lights and other components and to charge the battery performed on other components In the circuit including the switch The alternator on early models uses an electromagnetic field A ground earth check should be done to see if a component is which requires a brush assembly Later models use permanent grounded earthed oroperly Disconnect the battery and connect one magnets mounted in the rotor this design requires no brushes lead of a self powered test light continuity tester to a known good An electric starter mounted to the engine case behind the ground earth Connect the other lead to the wire or ground earth cylinders is standard equipment The starting system includes the connection being tested If the bulb lights the ground earth is good If motor the battery the solenoid and the various wires and switches the bulb does not light the ground earth is not good On models equipped with a sidestand switch and clutch switch if the A continuity check is performed to see if a circuit section of engine kill switch and the main key switch are both in the On position circuit or individual component is capable of passing electricity the circuit relay allows the starter motor to operate only if the through it Disconnect the battery and connect one lead of a selftransmission is n Neutral Neutral switch on or the clutch lever is powered test light continuity tester to one end of the ci cuit being pulled to the handlebar clutch switch on and the sidestand is up tested and the other lead to the other end of the circuit If the bulb sidestand switch on lights there Is continuity which means the circuit is passing electricity Note Keep in mind that electrical parts once purchased can t be returned To avoid unnecessary expense make very sure the faulty through it properly Switches can be checked in the same way Remember that all electrical circuits are designed to conduct component has been positively identified before buying a replacement electricity from the battery through the wires switches relays etc to part the electrical component light bulb motor etc From there it Is directed to the frame ground earth where it is passed back to the battery Electrical problems are basically an interruption in the flow of 2 Electrical troubleshooting electricity from the battery or back to it 1 General information A typical electrical circuit consists of an electrical component the switches relays etc related to that component and the wiring and connectors that hook the component to both the battery and the frame To aid in locating a problem in any electrical circuit complete wiring diagrams of each model are Included at the end of this Chapter Before tackling any troublesome electrical circuit first study the appropriate diagrams thoroughly to get a complete picture of what makes up that individual circuit Trouble spots for instance can often be narrowed dov n by noting if other components related to that circuit are operating properly or not If several components or circuits fail at one time chances are the fault lies in the fuse or ground earth connection as several circuits often are routed through the same fuse and ground eartn connections Electrical problems often stem from simple causes such as loose or corroded connections or a blown fuse Prior to any electrical troubleshooting always visually check the condition of the fuse wires and connections in the problem circuit Intermittent failures can be especially frustrating since you can t always duplicate the failure when it s convenient to test In such situations a good practice is to clean all connections in the affected circuit whether or not they appear to be good All of the connections and wires should also be wiggled to check for looseness which can cause intermittent failure If testing instruments are going to be utilized use the diagrams to plan where you will make the necessary connections in order to accurately pinpoint the trouble spot The basic tools needed for electrical troubleshooting include a test light or voltmeter a continuity tester which includes a bulb battery and set of test leads and a jumper wire preferably with a circuit breaker incorporated which can be used to bypass electrical components Specific checks described later in this Chapter require an ohmmeter Voltage checks should be performed if a circuit is not functioning properly Connect one lead of a test light or voltmeter to either the negative battery terminal or a known good ground earth Connect the other lead to a connector in the circuit being tested preferably nearest to the battery or fuse If the bulb lights voltage is reaching that point which means the part of the circuit between that connector and the battery is problem free Continue checking the remainder of the circuit in the same manner When you reach a point where no voltage is present the problem lies between there and the last good test point 3 Battery inspection and maintenance 1 Most battery damage is caused by heat vibration and or low electrolyte levels so keep the battery securely mounted check the electrolyte level frequently and make sure the charging system is functioning properly 2 Refer to Chapter 1 for electrolyte level and specific gravity checking procedures 3 Check around the base inside of the battery for sediment which is the result of sulfation caused by low electrolyte levels These deposits will cause internal short circuits which can quickly discharge the battery Look for cracks in the case and replace the battery if either of these conditions is found 4 Check the battery terminals and cable ends for tightness and corrosion If corrosion is evident remove the cables from the battery and clean the terminals and cable ends with a wire brush cr knife and emery paper Reconnect the cables and apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the connections to slow further corrosion 5 The battery case should be kept clean to prevent current leakage which can discharge the battery over a period of time especially when it sits unused Wash the outside of the case with a solution of baking soda and water Do not get any baking soda solution in the battery cells Rinse the battery thoroughly then dry it 6 If acid has been spilled on the frame or battery box neutralize it with the baking soda and water solution dry it thoroughly then touch up any damaged paint Make sure the battery vent tube if equipped is directed away from the frame and is not kinked or pinched 7 If the motorcycle sits unused for long periods of time disconnect the cables from the battery terminals Refer to Section 4 and charge the battery approximately once every month 4 Battery charging 1 If the machine sits idle for extended periods or if the charging system malfunctions the battery can be charged from an external source 2 To properly charge the battery you will need a charger of the
