BATTERY INSPECTIONINSPADJ

NOTE:

CAUTION:

ELECTRICALBATTERY INSPECTION

Since the MF battery is a sealed type battery, itis not possible to measure the specific gravity ofthe electrolyte in order to check the charge stateof the battery. Therefore the charge of the bat-tery has to be checked by measuring the volt-age at the battery terminals.

CHARGING METHOD This is a sealed type battery. Never re-

move the sealing caps. If the sealing capshave been removed, the balance will notbe maintained and battery performancewill deteriorate.

Charging time, charging current andcharging voltage for the MF battery aredifferent from those of general type bat-teries. The MF battery should be chargedas explained in “CHARGING METHOD”. Ifthe battery is overcharged, the electrolytelevel will drop considerably. Therefore,take special care when charging the bat-tery.

Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it containssulfuric acid which is poisonous and highlycaustic. Always follow these preventive measures: Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it

can cause severe burns or permanent eyeinjury.

Wear protective eye gear when handlingor working near batteries.

Antidote (EXTERNAL): SKIN – Wash with water. EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes

and get immediate medical attention.Antidote (INTERNAL): Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-

lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten eggor vegetable oil. Get immediate medicalattention.

CAUTION:

Check the condition of the battery using thefollowing charts.

Example: Open-circuit voltage = 12.0V Charging time = 6.5 hours Charge condition of the battery = 20 X 30% Charging method for MF batteries

If it is impossible to set the standardcharging current, be careful not to over-charge.

When charging the battery, be sure to re-move it from the motorcycle. (If charginghas to be done with the battery mountedon the motorcycle, be sure to disconnectthe wire at the negative terminal.)

Never remove the sealing caps of an MFbattery.

Make sure that the charging clips are infull contact with the terminal and that theyare not shorted together. (A corroded clipon the charger may cause the battery togenerate heat in the contact area. A weakclip spring may cause sparks.)

Before removing the clips from the bat-tery terminals, be sure to turn off the char-ger’s power switch.

The open-circuit voltage variation for theMF battery, after charging, is shown be-low. As shown in the figure, the open-cir-cuit voltage stabilizes about 30 minutesafter charging has been completed.Therefore, wait 30 minutes after chargingis completed before measuring the open-circuit voltage.

Page 96: Yamaha Dragstar 650 Service Manual

3-40

Measure the open-circuitvoltage prior to charging.

Connect a charger andAMP meter to the batteryand start charging.

Make sure the current ishigher than the standardcharging current written onthe battery.

By turning the charging volt-age adjust dial, set the chargingvoltage at 20 25 V.

Adjust the voltage so that cur-rent is at standard charginglevel.

Monitor the amperage for 3 5 minutes to check if the stan-dard charging current isreached.

Set the timer according to thecharging time suitable for theopen-circuit voltage.Refer to “Battery conditionchecking steps.”

If the current doesnot exceed stan-dard charging cur-rent after 5 minutes,replace the battery.

In case that charging requires more than 5 hours, it is advisable tocheck the charging current after a lapse of 5 hours. If there is anycharge in the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standardcharging current.

Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after having left the batteryunused for more than 30 minutes.12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.

MIDDLE DRIVE GEAR SHIM SELECTION

Gear positioning is necessary when any of thefollowing parts are replaced. Crankcase assembly Middle gear assembly

1. Select:Middle drive gear shim 1

Middle drive gear shim selection steps: Position middle drive gear by using shims 1

with their respective thickness calculatedfrom information marked on crankcase, bear-ing housing and drive gear end.

1 Shim thickness “A” To find shim thickness “A” use following for-

mula:

Middle drive pinion gear shim thickness:“A” = –

Where:a = a numeral (usually a decimal num-

ber) on the middle drive pinion gear iseither added to or subtracted from“44”.

b = a numeral (usually a decimal num-ber) on the left crankcase specifies athickness of “43.5”.

Example:1) If the middle drive pinion gear is marked

“+03”a is 44.03. . .

2) If the crankcase (left) is marked “43.45”b is 43.45. . .

3) Therefore, the shim thickness is 0.58 mm

HANDLING NOTES

This shock absorber contains highly com-pressed nitrogen gas. Read and understandthe following information before handlingthe shock absorber. The manufacturer can-not be held responsible for property dam-age of personal injury that may result fromimproper handling.

1. Do not tamper or attempt to open thecylinder assembly.

2. Do not subject shock absorber to anopen flame or other high heat. Thismay cause the unit to explode due toexcessive gas pressure.

3. Do not deform or damage the cylinderin any way. Cylinder damage will re-sult in poor damping performance.

NOTES ON DISPOSAL

Shock absorber disposal steps: Gas pressure must be released before dis-

posing of the shock absorber. To do so, drill a2 3 mm hole through the cylinder wall asshown.

TROUBLESHOOTINGThe following conditions may indicate damaged shaft drive components:

A Symptoms B Possible causes

1. A pronounced hesitation or jerky movementduring acceleration, deceleration, or sus-tained speeds (This must not be confusedwith engine surging or transmission- relatedmovements.)

2. A rolling “rumble” noticeable at low speeds, ahigh-pitched whine, or a “clunk” from a shaftdrive component or area

3. A locked-up condition of the shaft drive mech-anism or no power transmitted from the en-gine to the rear wheel

A. Bearing damage

B. Improper gear lash

C.Damaged gear teeth

D.Broken drive shaft

E. Broken gear teeth

F. Seizure due to lack of lubrication

G.Small foreign objects lodged between moving

parts

Causes A, B and C may be extremely difficult to diagnose. The symptoms are quite subtle and difficultto distinguish from normal operating noises. If there is reason to believe these components are dam-aged, remove them for individual inspection.

SHAFT DRIVE CHAS

*****************************************************

*****************************************************

CAUTION:

NOTE:

Inspection notes1. Investigate any unusual noises.

The following noises may indicate a me-chanical defect:a. A rolling “rumble” during coasting, accel-

eration, or deceleration. The noise in-creases with rear wheel speed, but doesnot increase with higher engine or trans-mission speeds.Diagnosis: Possible wheel bearing dam-age

b. A whining noise that varies with accelera-tion and deceleration.Diagnosis: Possible incorrect reassemb-ly, too little gear lash

Insufficient gear lash is extremely destruc-tive to the gear teeth. If a test ride followingreassembly indicates this condition, stopriding immediately to minimize gear dam-age.

c. A slight “clunk” evident at low speed opera-tion. This noise must be distinguished fromnormal motorcycle operation.Diagnosis: Possible broken gear teeth

Stop riding immediately if broken gear teethare suspected. This condition could resultin a locking of the shaft drive assembly,causing loss of control of the motorcycleand possible injury to the rider.

2. Inspect:Drained oilDrained oil contains a large amount ofmetal particles Check the bearing forseizure.

A small amount of metal particles in the oil isnormal.

Ring gear positioning is necessary when any ofthe following parts are replaced: Final gear case Ring gear bearing housing Bearing(s)

1. Select:Final drive gear shim 1Ring gear shim 2

Selection steps: Position the final drive gear and the ring gear

by using shims 1 and 2 with their respec-tive thicknesses calculated from informationmarked on the final gear case and the drivegear end.

1 Final drive gear shim thickness “A”2 Ring gear shim thickness “B”3 Thrust washer “C” To find the final drive gear shim thickness “A”,

use the following formula

Final drive gear shim thickness: A = –

Where:a = a numeral (usually a decimal number) onthe final drive pinion gear is either added to orsubtracted from “80”.b = a numeral on the final drive gear case(i.e.79.50)Example:a is 80.01If the final gear case is marked “50” b. . . is 79.50.

“A” = 80.01 – 79.50= 0.51Therefore, final drive gear shim thickness is0.51 mm. Shim sizes are supplied in the fol-lowing thickness.

In the example above, the calculated final drivegear shim thickness is 0.51 mm. The chartinstructs you to round off the 1 to 0. Thus youshould use a 0.50 mm final drive gear shim. To find the ring gear shim thickness “B”, use

the following formula.

Ring gear shim thickness: B = + – ( + )

Where:c = a numeral on the final gear case (i.e.45.55)d = a numeral on the bearing housing (i.e.1.35)e = a numeral (usually a decimalnumber) onthe inside of the ring gear either added to or sub-tracted from “35.40”.f = the ring gear bearing thickness (consid-

ered constant).

Ring gear bearing thickness f :11 mm

Example:If the final gear case is marked“55” c is 45.55. . . . . d is 1.35If the ring gear is marked “–05” e. . . . . . . is 35.35f is 11.00

“B” = 45.55 + 1.35 – (35.35 + 11.00)= 46.9 – (46.35)= 0.55

SWITCH INSPECTION ELEC

NOTE:

SWITCH INSPECTIONSWITCH INSPECTIONUse a pocket tester to check the terminals forcontinuity. If the continuity is faulty as any point,replace the switch.

Pocket tester:90890-03112

Set the pocket tester to “0” before starting thetest.

The pocket tester should be set to the ” 1” Ωrange when testing the switch for continuity.

Turn the switch on and off a few times whenchecking it.

INSPECTING A SWITCH SHOWN IN THEMANUALThe terminal connections for switches (mainswitch, handlebar switch, engine stop switch,light switch, etc.) are shown in a chart similar tothe one on the left.This chart shows the switch positions in the col-umn and the switch lead colors in the top row.For each switch position, “ ” indicates theterminals with continuity.The example chart shows that:1 There is continuity between the “Black and

Black/White” leads when the switch is setto “OFF”.

2 There is continuity between the “Red andBrown” leads when the switch is set to“ON”.

ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM ELEC

EB803010

STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATIONThe starting circuit on this model consists of thestarter motor, starter relay, and the starting cir-cuit cut-off relay. If the engine stop switch is on“RUN” and the main switch is on “ON” (bothswitches are closed), the starter motor can op-erate only if:

The transmission is in neutral (the neutralswitch is closed).

or if

The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar(the clutch switch is closed) and the side-stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).

The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents thestarter from operating when neither of theseconditions have been met. In this instance, thestarting circuit cut-off relay is open so currentcannot reach the starter motor.

When at least one of the above conditions havebeen met however, the starting circuit cut-offrelay is closed, and the engine can be started bypressing the starter switch.

FUEL PUMP TEST

Gasoline is extremely flammable and undercertain circumstances there can be a dan-ger of an explosion or combustion. Be ex-tremely careful and note the followingpoints: Stop the engine before refuelling. Do not smoke and keep away from open

flames, sparks, or any other source of fire. Take care not to spill gasoline. If you do

accidentally spill some, wipe it up im-mediately with dry rags.

If gasoline touches the engine when theengine is still hot, there is a danger ofcombustion. Make sure that the engine iscompletely cool before performing thefollowing test.

1. Check:Fuel pump operation

Checking steps: Fill up the fuel tank. Put the end of the fuel hose into an open con-

tainer. Connect the battery (12 V) to the fuel pump

coupler terminals.

Battery (+) lead Blue/Black terminalBattery (–) lead Black terminal

If fuel flows out from the fuel hose, the fuelpump is good. If not, replace the fuel pumpassembly.
