1 General information

The machines covered by this manual are equipped with a 12-volt

electrical system.

The charging system models uses a rotor with permanent

magnets that rotates around a stator coil of copper wire. This

produces alternating current, which is converted to direct current by

the regulator/rectifier. The regulator/rectifier also controls the charging

system output..

An electric starter mounted to the front of the engine is standard

equipment. The starter on all models has two brushes and uses

reduction gears. The starting system includes the motor, the battery,

the relay and the various wires and switches. If the engine kill switch

and the ignition (main key) switch are both in the On position, the

circuit relay allows the starter motor to operate only if the transmission

is in Neutral (Neutral switch on) or the clutch lever is pulled to the

handlebar (clutch switch on) and, on all US models and later UK

models, the sidestand is up (sidestand switch on).

Note: Keep in mind that electrical parts, once purchased, can't be

returned. To avoid unnecessary expense, make very sure the faulty

component has been positively identified before buying a replacement

part.

2 Electrical troubleshooting

This is the same as for XV535 models. Refer to Part B of this

Chapter.

5.3 The accessory fuse block on 1984 and later models is

beneath the warning light panel

3 Battery - inspection and maintenance

These procedures are the same as for XV535 models, except that

the XV920J has a long-life battery. This battery has a single filler hole

for the electrolyte and a sensor that indicates electrolyte level and

activates a warning light on the instrument panel when it drops too low.

If the sensor isn't working properly, put on eye protection and

rubber gloves and remove,. Jt from the battery. Clean the sensor

thoroughly with water, then sand any corrosion from its surface and

reinstall it. Warning: Battery electrolyte is diluted sulfuric acid. It can

cause burns and eye injury. Don't let it touch your skin.

4 Battery - charging

This is the same as for XV535 models. Refer to Part A of this

Chapter.

5 Fuses - check and replacement

Refer to illustrations 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3

1 The main fuse on all XV700 through 1100 models is located

beneath the seat (see illustration).

2 The fuse block on 1981 through 1983 models is behihd a cover on

the lower triple clamp (see illustration).

3 The fuse block on 1984 and later models is located under the

warning light panel (see-illustration).

4 The fuse block contains spare fuses and accessory fuses. Fuse

functions and ratings are listed in this Chapter's Specifications. Fuse

ratings are marked on the fuses.

5 If you have a test light, the accessory fuses can be checked

without removing them. Turn the ignition key to the On position,

connect one end of the test light to a good ground, then probe each

terminal on top of the fuse. If the fuse is good, there will be voltage

available at both terminals. If the fuse is blown, there will only be

voltage present at one of the terminals.

6 The fuses' can also be tested with an ohmmeter or self-powered

test light. Remove the fuse and connect the tester to the ends of the

fuse. If the ohmmeter shows continuity or the test lamp lights, the fuse

is good. If the ohmmeter shows infinite resistance or the test lamp

stays out, the fuse is blown.

7 The fuses can be removed and checked visually. If you can't pull

the fuse out with your fingertips, use a pair of needle-nose pliers. A

blown fuse is easily identified by a break in the element.

8 If a fuse blows, be sure to check the wiring harnesses very
