CAUTIONS IN SERVICING

CONNECTORS

• When disconnecting a connector, be sure to hold the termi-

nals; do not pull the lead wires.

• When connecting a connector, push it in so it is firmly attac-

hed.

• Inspect the connector for corrosion, contamination and any

breakage in the cover.

COUPLERS

• With a lock-type coupler, be sure to release the lock before

disconnecting it. When connecting a coupler, push it in until
the lock clicks shut.

• When disconnecting a coupler, be sure to hold the coupler, do

not pull the lead wires.

• Inspect each terminal on the coupler for looseness or bends.
• Inspect each terminal for corrosion and contamination.

CLAMPS

• Refer to the “WIRING HARNESS ROUTING” section for

proper clamping procedures. (

9-17 to 9-18)

• Bend the clamp properly, as shown in the illustration.
• When clamping the wire harness, do not allow it to hang

down.

• Do not use wire or any substitutes for the band-type clamp.

FUSE

• When a fuse blows, always investigate the cause, correct the

problem, and then replace the fuse.

• Do not use a fuse of a different capacity.
• Do not use any substitutes for the fuse (e.g., wire).

SEMI-CONDUCTOR EQUIPPED PARTS

• Do not drop any part that contains a semi-conductor (e.g., 

ECM, regulator/rectifier).

• When inspecting the part, follow the inspection instructions

carefully. Neglecting proper procedures may cause this part
to be damaged.

BATTERY

• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require

main-tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water
replenishment).

• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-

ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.

• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open

area.

• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different

from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY

• When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disas-

sem-bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the 

 

-

 battery lead

wire, first.

• When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect

the 

 

+

 battery lead wire, first.

• If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm

water over it and clean it with a wire brush.

• After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the

battery terminals.

• Install the cover the 

 

+

 battery terminal.

WIRING PROCEDURE

• Properly route the wiring harness according to the “WIRING

HARNESS ROUTING” section. (

USING THE MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER

• Properly use the multi circuit tester 

 

+

 and 

 

-

 probes.

Improper use can cause damage to the motorcycle and
tester.

• If the voltage and current values are not known, begin mea-

suring in the highest range.

• When measuring the resistance, make sure no voltage is

applied. If voltage is applied, the tester will be damaged.

• After using the tester, be sure to turn the switch to the OFF

position.

"

Before using the multi circuit tester, read its instruc-
tion manual.
