These are connected to other wires which correspond with the band color. All plastic plugs have locking tabs that must be released before disconnecting, and must be aligned when reconnecting. The following color codes used are indicated throughout this section and on the wiring diagram. B = Blue G = Green LG = Light Green = Red Bk = Black Gr = Grey 0 = Orange = White Br = Brown LB = Light Blue P = Pink = Yellow To isolate an electrical failure, check the continuity of the electrical path through the part. A continuity check can usually be made without removing the part from the motorcycle. Simply disconnect the wires and connect a continuity tester or volt-ohmmeter to the terminals or connections. A continuity tester is useful when checking to find out whether or not there is an electrical connection between the two points. An ohmmeter is needed to measure the resistance of a circuit, such as when there is a specific coil resistance involved, or when checking for high resistance caused by corroded connections. 21 Date of Issue: October, 1982 329 © HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD 21-1
