STARTING CIRCUIT CUTOFF SYSTEM
OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to “
” and the
main switch is set to “ON” (both switches are
closed), 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 handlebar
(the clutch switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cutoff relay prevents the
starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this
instance, the starting circuit cutoff relay is open
so current cannot reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above conditions has
been met the starting circuit cutoff relay is
closed and the engine can be started by press-
ing the starter switch.
