▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Remove the crankcase bolts.
TIP
Loosen each bolt 1/4 of a turn at a time and af-
ter all the bolts are loosened, remove them.
b. Remove the right crankcase “1”.
TIP
• Place the crankcase with its left side down-ward and split it by inserting a screwdriver tip
into the splitting slit “a” in the crankcase.

EAS2GC1362STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION
If the meter light comes on, the starter motor can only operate if at least one of the following condi-
tions 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 con-
ditions has been met. In this instance, the starting ci rcuit cut-off relay is open so current cannot reach
the starter motor. When at least one of the above conditions has been met the starting circuit cut-off
relay is closed and the engine can be started by pressing the start switch.
