This is true; you need a mutlimeter and a 12v source, in addition to a few other things I'm probably forgetting. But at the very least, you can pull the plastic cover off (if possible, but I haven't seen many where it isn't) and check that the thing is physically sound.
It's sure as shit easier than running down every goddam wire in the loom, though.![]()
I have to mention that I have more experience working on cars than bikes. Running down wires on a bike is probably annoying as fuck, but something that you can do in a reasonable amount of time. The same task on a car, especially my SAAB, makes me sick to my stomach.![]()
You'd be amazed at just how simple a bike's wiring system is.![]()

Saab = headache.![]()

YES. JESUS YES.
The only thing keeping me from selling that fucker is that it was my uncle's car; he sold it to me at an absolute steal before he died. He was, at the time, the sanest of my uncles, even in the face of schizophrenia. Says a lot about my extended family.![]()

You bought a brand new battery?![]()

That was an uncomfortable step into John's extended family history.![]()
