ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM
OPERATION
If the main switch is set to “ON”, the starter
motor can only operate if at least one of the fol-
lowing conditions is met:
The transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed).
The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar
(the clutch switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the
starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this
instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is
open so current cannot reach the starter
motor. When at least one of the above condi-
tions has been met the starting circuit cut-off
relay is closed and the engine can be started
by pressing the start switch.

COUPLERS AND LEADS CONNECTION
INSPECTION
1. Check:
Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit →
Repair or replace.
STARTER MOTOR OPERATION
1. Connect the positive battery terminal 1
and starter motor lead 2 with a jumper
lead 3.
Not operate → Repair or replace the
starter motor.
WARNING
A wire that is used as a jumper lead must
have at least the same capacity or more
as that of the battery lead, otherwise the
jumper lead may burn.
This check is likely to produce sparks,
therefore make sure nothing flammable is
in the vicinity.
