Ignition circuit cut-off system 

The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch, clutch
switch and neutral switch) has the fol-
lowing functions.

It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the side-
stand is up, but the clutch lever is
not pulled.

It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch le-
ver is pulled, but the sidestand is
still down.

It cuts the running engine when the
transmission is in gear and the sid-
estand is moved down.

Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system according
to the following procedure.

TIP

This check is most reliable if performed
with a warmed-up engine.
