Remove the frame front covers. (2-5)
Disconnect the headlight switch wire
couplers. Check for continuity between the
wire terminals.
STARTER SWITCH INSPECTION
Remove the frame front covers. (2-5)
Disconnect the starter switch wire couplers.
Depress the starter button and check for
continuity between the wire terminals.
PASSING SWITCH
Remove the front upper cover. (2-5)

HORN BUTTON INSPECTION
Remove the frame front covers. (2-5)
Disconnect the horn wire couplers.
Depress the horn button and check for
continuity between the wire terminals.
TURN SIGNAL SWITCH INSPECTION
Remove the frame front covers. (2-5)
Disconnect the turn signal switch wire
couplers and turn on the turn signal switch.
Check for continuity between the wire
terminals.
DIMMER SWITCH INSPECTION
Remove the frame front covers. (2-5)

HORN INSPECTION
Remove the front upper cover. (2-5)
Disconnect the horn wire couplers.
The horn is normal if it sounds when a 12V
battery is connected across the horn wire
terminals.
FUEL UNIT
FUEL UNIT INSPECTION
Remove the fuel unit.
Disconnect the fuel unit wire connectors.
Measure the resistance between the fuel unit
wire terminals with the float at upper and
lower positions.
FUEL GAUGE INSPECTION
Connect the fuel unit wire connectors and
turn the ignition switch “ON”.
Check the fuel gauge needle for correct
indication by moving the fuel unit float up
and down.
The fuel gauge is normal if it operates as
above indicated. If not, check for loosely
tightened nuts, poorly connected terminals or
shorted wires.
Before performing the following test,
operate the turn signals to determine that
the battery circuit is normal.
Needle moves
from F to E.

OIL METER
INSPECTION
Remove the met-in box. (2-4)
Remove the frame body cover. (2-4)
Disconnect the oil meter wire connectors
and remove the oil meter. Keep the oil
meter float at the lower position.
Measure the resistances between the wire
terminals as and shown in the left
figure.
Oil Meter Operation Inspection
Connect the oil meter wire connectors and
turn the ignition switch ON.
Measure the resistance between the wire
terminals with the float at upper position.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Disconnect the wire from the thermosensor
and ground it to the engine.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
The temperature gauge needle should move
all the way to “H”.
Do not leave the thermosensor wire
grounded for longer than 5 seconds or
the temperature gauge will be damaged.
Before performing the following test,
operate the turn signals to determine
that the battery circuit is normal.
Before removing the oil meter, be sure to
drain the motor oil and do not allow
sparks or flames near the working area.
