Test your bike for antifreeze

 Make sure you test your vehicle for antifreeze as if your engine freezes it will split the barrel and head and cause a lot of damage.


Buy from Amazon UK here 

Use this tester, remove cap to radiator water and fill it by pressing bulb at top to suck water in. the more balls that float the better protection you have. In the UK you need minimum of 2 balls floating.

Its a very easy but useful test to make sure your spark plug is ok , you may need to clean the electrode to ensure you get a good reading but all you then have to do is set meter to read ohms and measure from the spark plug cap end to the electrode tip , and then from end to body to make sure no leakage to earth.

Get set up turn meter to ohms reading on dial and clean the electrode as below 


Test between end of spark plug where HT lead cap fits and the tip of electrode the reading is very low only 1.2 ohms 


on a dirty part of electrode the reading goes wild and eventually read 188.9 ohms so very bad and to avoid this clean electrode tip 




Next test from spark plug cap end to the body to make sure no earth leakage your meter should read OL which is a good reading as it signals no leakage to earth via the body.

Cagiva Mito 125 regulator and charging system testing .

connect + lead of multimeter to further left connector pin 
and common lead to 2nd pin from left you should get a voltage reading of around 0.6 
here i get 0.52 which is ok

then test 3rd pin from left it should give same reading

now connect common lead of multimeter to left pin and + lead 
of meter to the second pin from left you should get OL telling you no 
current is flowing as it should be.

Now test with + lead of meter to third pin from left and same OL
no current flow

now connect common lead to the further right hand side 
and + lead to second from left you should see 0.6v i get 0.52 which is ok

move red + lead to thurd pin from left and should get 0.6v again i get 0.506 which is ok

Cagiva Mito 125 regulator and charging system testing .

Switch + lead to further right pin and touch blue to second and 
third pins and you should get 0L no current flowing
