I g nition circuit cut-off system
This system prevents in-gear engine
starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will
stop the running engine should the
sidestand be lowered while the trans-
mission is in gear.
Periodically check this system via the
following procedure.
TIP

This check is most reliable if per-
formed with a warmed-up engine.
