Kill Button
  
1. The kill button should show no continuity between the black and the black/white leads when in either "off" position. When in the "run" position, there must be continuity.


Clutch Switch
  
1. Hawk models have a clutch starter switch incorporated into the clutch lever holder to prevent operation of the electric starter when in gear with the clutch engaged. The lead connectors are in the headlight shell.
   2. Check for continuity between the green and green/red switch leads. Continuity should exist only when the clutch is disengaged

Silicon Diode
  
1. The diode is a part of the electric starter interlock circuit.
   2. Check for continuity across the diode with an ohmmeter in the high reading range. Current must flow in one direction only. Current flow (continuity) in both or neither direction is indicative of a defective diode.


Dimmer Switch
  
1. In the "Hi" position, there should be continuity between the black/yellow and blue leads.
   2. In the "Lo" position, there should be continuity between the black/yellow and white leads.
   3. In the median position, there should be continuity between all leads.

Turn Signal Switch
  
1. When the righthand turn signal is activated, there should be continuity between the green lead and the light blue lead and between the brown/white lead and the orange/white lead.
   2. In the neutral position, there should be
continuity between the brown/white, light blue/white, and orange/white leads, but none between the others.
   3. in the lefthand position, there should be continuity between the green lead and the orange lead and between the brown/white and light blue/white leads.

Starter Button
  
1. If nothing happens when the starter button is pushed, refer to "Starting System," "Testing," above. If the solenoid is operable and the connections are clean and tight, check the starter button.
   2. Disconnect the starter button leads. When the button is free, continuity should exist between the black and the black/red leads.
   3. When the button is depressed, continuity should exist between the black and yellow/red leads.
   NOTE: The black/red lead shuts off  
   the headlight when the
starter button
   is pushed.
This lead has a 7 amp fuse in the fuse box
