Starter Motor
NOTE: The starter is a non-serviceable compo-
nent. If the following test does not result as speci-
fied, the starter must be replaced.
TESTING VOLTAGE
Perform this test on the starter motor positive terminal.
To access the terminal, slide the boot away.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion, the emergency stop switch in the RUN posi-
tion, and the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the starter terminal;
then connect the black tester lead to ground.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show approximately 10.0 DC volts and the starter
motor should operate.
AR607D
NOTE: If the meter showed correct voltage but
the starter did not operate or operated slowly, the
starter motor is defective.
NOTE: If the meter showed no voltage, inspect
ground connections, starter motor lead, battery
voltage (at the battery), starter relay, or the neutral
start relay.
REMOVING
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the nut securing the positive cable to the
starter; then remove the cable from the starter.
3. Remove the two cap screws securing the starter to
the crankcase; then remove the starter. Account for
an O-ring.
INSTALLING
1. Apply a small amount of grease to the O-ring seal
on the starter; then install the starter into the crank-
case. Secure with two cap screws making sure the
engine ground is secured by the rear cap screws.

CDI Unit
The CDI is located on the electrical tray in front of the
steering post.
NOTE: The CDI unit is not a serviceable compo-
nent. If the unit is defective, it must be replaced.
The CDI is rarely the cause for electrical problems;
however, if the CDI is suspected, substitute another
CDI unit to verify the suspected one is defective.
NOTE: Prior to replacing the CDI unit to assure the
CDI unit is defective, it is advisable to perform a CDI
peak voltage test (see Ignition Coil in this section)
and/or perform a continuity test of the wiring har-
ness from the CDI connector to the CDI unit.
Regulator/Rectifier
The regulator/rectifier is located under the front rack
and front fenders above the oil cooler.
TESTING
1. Start engine and warm up to normal operating
temperatures; then connect a multimeter to the bat-
tery as follows.
2. Select the DC Voltage position; then connect the
red tester lead to the positive battery post and the
black tester lead to the negative battery post.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the negative battery cable from the
battery first; then disconnect the positive cable.
