Regulator/Rectifier Inspection

Set the hand tester to the × 1 kΩ range and make the measurements shown in the table.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
Connect the hand tester to the regulator rectifier.

If the tester readings are not as specified, replace the regulator/rectifier.

Regulator/Rectifier Inspection

NOTICE

Use only Kawasaki Hand Tester 57001-1394 for this test. A tester other than the Kawasaki Hand Tester may show different readings.

If a megger or a meter with a large capacity battery is used, the regulator/rectifier will be damaged.
