STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to "I" and the main switch is turned "ON" (both switch circuits 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 circuit is closed).
• The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (the clutch switch circuit is closed) and the sidestand is
up (the sidestand switch circuit is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the starter motor from operating when neither of these con-
ditions has been met. In this instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay stays open so current cannot
reach the starter motor. When at least one of the above conditions has been met, the starting circuit
cut-off relay is closed and the engine can be started by pushing the start switch "J".
