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 sidestand 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 en-
gine can be started by pressing the start switch.
