Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Regulator / rectifier inspection
Inspect the regulator/rectifier in the following procedures:
- turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the regulator/rectifier couplers. Refer to “regulator / rectifier removal and installation” .
- Measure the voltage between the terminals using the multi-circuit testers as indicated in the following table. If the voltage is not within the specified value, replace the regulator/rectifier with a new one. Refer to “regulator / rectifier removal and installation” .
| Note if the tester reads 1.4 V and below when the tester probes are not connected, replace its battery. |

Break-in procedures
During manufacture only the best possible materials are
used and all machined parts are finished to a very high
standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts
to “break-in” before subjecting the engine to maximum
stresses. The future performance and reliability of the
engine depen ...
Air bleeding from brake fluid circuit
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to
absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by
the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full
braking performance of the brake caliper. The presence
of air is indicated by “sponginess” of the brake lever and
also by la ...
