To check the current flow of the recharging circuit, use the "dds" diagnosis instrument, which is equipped with an inductive clamp-type amperemeter: refer to chapter "testing the battery charging system", sect. 6 - 11 With the dds diagnosis instrument you can determine the engine rpm required for the alternator to produce sufficient current to charge the battery, feed the injection/ignition system and all the electrical equipment on the motorcycle. When applied to a cable, the clamp-type amperemeter detects the magnetic field generated by the current passing through that cable.
The tester performs an automatic calibration routine using its own transducer. If the measured current is a positive quantity, it means that generator is feeding all electric items and charging battery at the same time. A negative value means that charging system is not powering the loads and a significant amount of current must be supplied by the battery, which is discharging at the time of the measurement.
Or it is possible to use a multimeter (sect. 6 -11, Diagnostic instruments); connect the multimeter probes to the battery terminals, select the dc scale on the instrument and check for the presence of 14.5 V+/-0.5 At an engine speed of 3000 rpm.
Important
If polarity is reversed when clamping the ammeter onto the cable, the sign of the readings will also be reversed, giving rise to incorrect diagnosis.
Timing system
Desmodromic (type) with four valves per cylinder,
operated by eight rocker arms (4 opening rockers and 4
closing rockers) and two overhead camshafts. It is operated
by the crankshaft through spur gears, belt rollers and toothed
belts.

Injection and ignition
Introduction
Ignition is via a single stick coil per cylinder installed in the spark plug
well. Each thermal unit is supplied by a single
injector, placed under the throttle valve. The amount of fuel injected and the
ignition advances are determined by the
control unit specifically for each c ...
Refitting the water pump
Clean the seat on the cover, any parts you intend to reuse, and the impeller
shaft. Then refit as follows.
Fit on the impeller (10) shaft the mechanical seal (9) as indicated in the
figure.
Apply specified lubricant to facilitate the insertion.
Bring the mechanical seal fully home on th ...
