Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Starter relay inspection
Inspect the starter relay in the following procedures:
- remove the starter relay. Refer to “starter relay removal and installation” .
- Apply 12 v to “a” and “b” terminals and check for continuity between the positive and negative terminals using the multi-circuit tester. If the starter relay clicks and continuity is found, the relay is ok.
| Caution do not apply battery voltage to the starter relay for five seconds and more, since the relay coil may overheat and get damaged. |
