General Information
Right Handlebar Switches
1. Engine stop switch
2. Starter button
Engine Stop Switch
In addition to the ignition switch being turned
to the ON position, the engine stop switch
must be in the RUN position for the
motorcycle to operate.
The engine stop switch is for emergency use.
If an emergency arises which requires the
engine to be stopped, move the engine stop
switch to the STOP position.
Note:
• Although the engine stop switch
stops the engine, it does not turn
off all the electrical circuits and this
may cause difficulty in restarting
the engine due to a discharged
battery. Ordinarily, only the
ignition switch should be used to
stop the engine.
Starter Button
The starter button operates the electric
starter. For the starter to operate, the clutch
lever must be pulled to the handlebar.
Note:
• Even if the clutch lever is pulled to
the handlebar, the starter will not
operate if the side stand is down
and a gear is engaged.

Caution
Do not leave the ignition switch in the ON
position unless the engine is running as
this may cause damage to electrical
components and will discharge the battery.
