IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the ignition coil from
spark plug.
2. Remove the ignition coil cap.
3. Connect the dynamic spark tester
"1" (ignition checker "2") as
shown.
• Ignition coil "3"
• Spark plug "4"
A. For USA and CDN
B. Except for USA and CDN
4. Kick the kickstarter crank.
5. Check the ignition spark gap.
6. Start engine, and increase spark
gap until misfire occurs. (for USA
and CDN only)
CHECKING THE COUPLERS,
LEADS AND IGNITION COIL
CONNECTION
1. Check:
• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→Repair or replace.
• Ignition coil and spark plug as
they are fitted
Push in the ignition coil until it
closely contacts the spark plug
hole in the cylinder head cover.CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed→
Replace.
Conductive while it is freed→Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
× 1".
2. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"
Tears/damage→ Replace.
CHECKING THE MAIN SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Main switch conduction
Not conductive while the main switch
is moved to "ON"→Replace.
Conductive while the main switch is
moved to "OFF"→Replace.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
×1".
2. Inspect:
• Main switch indicator light
Use 12 V battery.
Indicator light does not come on→
Replace.
3. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"
Tears/damage→Replace.
CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL
1. Remove the ignition coil cap.
2. Inspect:
• Primary coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace. Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)

4. Inspect:
• Sealed portion of ignition coil "a"
• Spark plug terminal pin "b"
• Threaded portion of spark plug "c"
Wear →Replace.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect:
• Pickup coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace.CHECKING THE NEUTRAL
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Neutral switch conduction
Not conductive while it is in neutral→
Replace.
Conductive while it is engaged→Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE CDI UNIT
Check all electrical components. If no
fault is found, replace the CDI unit.
Then check the electrical compo-
nents again.
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 following conditions is
met:
• The transmission is in neutral (the
neutral switch is closed).
• The clutch lever is pulled to the han-
dlebar (the clutch switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay pre-
vents the starter motor from operating
when neither of these conditions has
been met. In this instance, the start-
ing circuit cut-off relay is open so cur-
rent cannot reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above con-
ditions has been met the starting cir-
cuit cut-off relay is closed and the
engine can be started by pressing the
start switch.
