electrical work

[scouse645]

Hi, i think this has probably been asked before but can't find the answer at the moment, when working on the electrical system and taking parts off should i disconnect the battery or take the main fuse out? or both? thanks for any replies.

Always best to remove the battery .

Ok thanks for that advice.

Depends on what you are doing. You may want battery power if testing for lives and earth's (+ & -). If your cutting wires and there is a risk of a wire touching the frame or something and shorting out, then just disconnect the battery earth.

I was thinking about changing the R/R as my bike has the non finned one, that sort of thing.

Well disconnect the earth then, until your ready to stick a multimeter on and test the output.
