6.5.9 CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL ◆ Remove the fuel tank, see 7.1.1 (REMOVAL OF THE
FUEL TANK). ◆ Disconnect the connector (1) from the ignition coil (2).
aCAUTION Upon reassembly, make sure that the electric connector (1) is correctly coupled. ◆ Pull the cable (3) of the coil (2). ◆ Measure the values of (A) and (B) indicated in the fig-
ure by means of a pocket tester. It is important to check the continuity of the primary and secondary windings. The reading in Ohms does not necessarily have to be exact but if the windings are sound, the resistance values must correspond approximately to those indicated. Standard values: Measurement (A): 0.6 Ω ±10%; Measurement (B): 10 kΩ ±10%.
aCAUTION This measuring method is approximate; if possible, check the correct operation of the coil by replacing it with another one in perfect condition.
6.5.10 CHECKING THE PICK-UP With the engine switched off: ◆ Unscrew and remove the two screws (4). ◆ Remove the protection element (5). ◆ Disconnect the two-way connector (6) and carry out the measurements directly on the sensor (7). ◆ With a tester (scale x 1000 Ω) measure the resistance between the sensor terminals, respecting the polarity (see figure). Standard value: 560 Ω ± 10%.
NOTE If the resistance is infinite (∞) or different from the value prescribed, it is necessary to change the sensor.
