Note

To check the battery charging system for faults, use the dds diagnosis instrument and follow the instructions given in the paragraph, "testing the battery charging system" (sect. 6 - 11).

The absolute value of voltage measured across the terminals of two of the three yellow cables (the measured value will be the same whichever combination of cable is used) must be within the range indicated in the table below.

(Ambient temperature: 35 C - 70 C)

Important

Before testing, disconnect the alternator wiring from the electrical system when the ignition key is set to off.

Values significantly lower than those indicated above can be due to:

In the above cases the whole alternator assembly (rotor and stator) should be renewed.

If checks have a favourable outcome, reconnect the alternator to the regulator with ignition key on off. Make sure that no cables are damaged or disconnected.

Specific operating strategies
Idle speed No electric motor is used for idle speed regulation (bypass is modulated instead with the throttle valve), as idle speed control is effected by the ride-by-wire system. Idle speed is maintained by the control unit when the speed drops below a specific threshold and when the clutch ...

Refitting the rear sprocket
Check the cush drive bushes (6) condition and, if necessary, replace them by removing them from the flange. Refitting is the reverse of removal. Apply recommended grease on the rear sprocket flange (5) external diameter. Place the rear sprocket flange (5) on sprocket (17) by inserting it ...
