Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gasand contain electrolyte which is made of poi-sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.Therefore, always follow these preventivemeasures:Wear protective eye gear when handling orworking near batteries.

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.Keep batteries away from fire, sparks oropen flames (e.g., welding equipment,lighted cigarettes).

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTEOUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as itcan cause severe burns or permanent eyeinjury.

First aid in case of bodily contact:ExternalSKIN – Wash with water.EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes andget immediate medical attention.

InternalDrink large quantities of water or milk fol-lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg orvegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-tion.

This is a sealed battery. Never remove thesealing caps because the balance betweencells will not be maintained and battery per-formance will deteriorate.

Charging time, charging amperage andcharging voltage for a MF battery are differ-ent from those of conventional batteries.The MF battery should be charged as ex-plained in the charging method illustra-tions. If the battery is overcharged, theelectrolyte level will drop considerably.Therefore, take special care when chargingthe battery.

When charging a battery, be sure to removeit from the motorcycle. (If charging has tobe done with the battery mounted on themotorcycle, disconnect the negative leadfrom the battery terminal.)

To reduce the chance of sparks, do notplug in the battery charger until the batterycharger leads are connected to the battery.

Before removing the battery charger leadclips from the battery terminals, be sure toturn off the battery charger.

Make sure that the battery charger leadclips are in full contact with the battery ter-minal and that they are not shorted. A cor-roded battery charger lead clip may gener-ate heat in the contact area and a weak clipspring may cause sparks.

If the battery becomes hot to the touch atany time during the charging process, dis-connect the battery charger and let the bat-tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-ies can explode!

As shown in the following illustration, theopen-circuit voltage of a MF battery stabi-lizes about 30 minutes after charging hasbeen completed. Therefore, wait 30 min-utes after charging is completed beforemeasuring the open-circuit voltage.

Page 143: XVS1100 v-Star 1100 (99-00) Service Manual

Measure the open-circuitvoltage prior to charging.

Connect a charger andAMP meter to the batteryand start charging.

Make sure the current ishigher than the standardcharging current written onthe battery.

By turning the charging volt-age adjust dial, set the charg-ing voltage at 20 25 V.

Adjust the voltage so that cur-rent is at standard charginglevel.

Monitor the amperage for 3 5 minutes to check if the stan-dard charging current isreached.

Set the timer according to thecharging time suitable for theopen-circuit voltage.Refer to “Battery conditionchecking steps.”

If the current doesnot exceed stan-dard charging cur-rent after 5 min-utes, replace thebattery.

In case that charging requires more than 5 hours, it is advisable tocheck the charging current after a lapse of 5 hours. If there is anycharge in the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standardcharging current.

Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after having left the batteryunused for more than 30 minutes.12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.

ALIGNING THE MIDDLE GEAR

Aligning the middle gear is necessary when anyof the following parts are replaced:CrankcaseMiddle drive shaft

1. Select:middle drive gear shim(-s) 1

Select the middle drive gear shim(-s) 1 by cal-culating the middle drive gear shim thicknessand then measuring the middle gear backlash.

a. Position the middle drive gear with the ap-propriate shim(-s) 1 that has had its respec-tive thickness calculated from informationmarked on the crankcase and the end of themiddle drive gear.

b. To find middle drive gear shim thickness“A”, use the following formula.

Middle drive gear shim thickness“A” = a – c

a =“43.00”b =a numeral on the upper crankcase nearthe main bearing selection numbers andwhich is added to the nominal size “42”Example:a is 43.00If the upper crankcase is marked “46” bc is 42.46 (i.e., 42.00 + 0.46 =42.46)“A” = 43.00 – 42.46 = 0.54Round off to the hundredths digit and select the appropriate shim(-s).

In the above example, the calculated numberis 0.54. The chart instructs you to round offthe 4 to 5. Thus, the shim thickness is 0.55mm.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM (AIS) CARB

EB601000

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM (AIS)AIR INDUTIONThis system burns the unburned exhaust gasesby injecting fresh air (secondary air) at the ex-haust port. This is to reduce the output of the hy-drocarbons.When there is negative pressure around the ex-haust port, the reed valve opens and the sec-ondary air flows into the exhaust port.The required temperature for burning the un-burned exhaust gases is approximately 600 to700C.

AIR CUT-OFF VALVEThe air cut-off valve is operated by intake gaspressure through the diaphragm. Normally, thisvalve is opened in order to allow fresh air to flowinto the exhaust port.When the throttle is rapidly closed, negativepressure is generated and the valve closes inorder to prevent after-burning.VIEW 1. (NO FLOW)

When decelerating (the throttle closes), the valve will close.

VIEW 2. (FLOW)During normal operation the valve is open.

TROUBLESHOOTINGThe following conditions may indicate damaged shaft drive components:

A Symptoms B Possible causes

1. A pronounced hesitation or jerky movementduring acceleration, deceleration, or sus-tained speeds. (not to be confused with enginesurging or transmissionrelatedmovements.)

2. A rolling “rumble” noticeable at low speeds, ahigh-pitched whine, or a “clunk” from a shaftdrive component or vicinity of the shaft drive.

3. The shaft drive is locked up or no power istransmitted from the engine to the rear wheel

A. Bearing damageB. Improper gear lashC.Damaged gear teethD.Broken drive shaftE. Broken gear teethF. Seizure due to lack of lubricationG.Small foreign objects lodged between moving

parts

Causes A, B and C may be extremely difficult to diagnose. The symptoms are quite subtle and difficultto distinguish from normal operating noises. If there is reason to believe these components are dam-aged, remove them for individual inspection.

WARNING

Inspection notes1. Investigate any unusual noises.

The following noises may indicate a me-chanical defect:a. A rolling “rumble” during coasting, accelera-

tion, or deceleration, (increases with the rearwheel speed, but does not increase withhigher engine or transmission speeds).Diagnosis: Possible wheel bearing damage.

b. A whining noise that varies with accelerationand deceleration.Diagnosis: Possible incorrect reassembly ortoo little gear lash.

Insufficient gear lash is extremely destruc-tive to the gear teeth. If a test ride, followingreassembly, indicates these symptoms,stop riding immediately to minimize geardamage.

c. A slight “clunk” evident at low speed opera-tion. (not to be confused with normal motor-cycle operation)Diagnosis: Possible broken gear teeth

Stop riding immediately if broken gear teethare suspected. This condition could resultin the shaft drive assembly locking up, caus-ing a loss of control and possible injury tothe rider.

ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM ELEC

EB803010

STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATIONThe starting circuit on this model consists of thestarter motor, starter relay, and the starting cir-cuit cut-off relay. If the engine stop switch is on“RUN” and the main switch is on “ON” (bothswitches are closed), the starter motor can op-erate only if:

The transmission is in neutral (the neutralswitch is closed).

or ifThe clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar(the clutch switch is closed) and the side-stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).

The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents thestarter from operating when neither of theseconditions have been met. In this instance, thestarting circuit cut-off relay is open so currentcannot reach the starter motor.

When at least one of the above conditions havebeen met however, the starting circuit cut-offrelay is closed, and the engine can be started bypressing the starter switch.

FUEL PUMP TEST

Gasoline is extremely flammable and undercertain circumstances there can be a dangerof an explosion or combustion. Be extreme-ly careful and note the following points:Stop the engine before refuelling.Do not smoke and keep away from openflames, sparks, or any other source of fire.

Take care not to spill gasoline. If you do ac-cidentally spill some, wipe it up immediate-ly with dry rags.

If gasoline touches the engine when the en-gine is still hot, there is a danger of com-bustion. Make sure that the engine is com-pletely cool before performing thefollowing test.

1. Check:Fuel pump operation

a. Fill up the fuel tank.b. Put the end of the fuel hose into an open con-

tainer.c. Connect the battery (12 V) to the fuel pump

coupler terminals.

Battery (+) lead Blue/black terminal 1Battery (–) lead Black terminal 2

d. If fuel flows out from the fuel hose, the fuelpump is good. If not, replace the fuel pumpassembly.
