IGNITION SYSTEMS
Model With Centrifugal Clutch
STARTING SYSTEM (STARTER MOTOR)
OPERATION
Model With Manual Clutch
When the ignition switch is turned ON and the starter switch
is pushed, battery voltage is applied t o the starter relay switch
coil. If the switches in the ground circuit of the starter relay
switch are not turned ON (condition (a) or (b) below), the
circuit cannot be grounded and the starter motor does not
operate.
(a) Neutral switch is turned ON
(b) Both clutch and side stand switches are turned ON
If either condition (a) or (b) (above) is met, current from the
battery flows through the circuit as shown in the diagram at
right, the starter relay switch is turned ON and the starter
motor operates.
To prevent vehicles with a centrifugal clutch from lurching
forward when the engine starts, a circuit is used that prevents
voltage from reaching the starter relay switch unless the brake
is applied (brake light switch is turned on).
