STARTER RELAY SWITCH
INSPECTION
NOTE:
Before checking the starter relay switch, check for
battery condition.
Remove the left side cover (page 2-4).
Shift the transmission into neutral.
Turn the ignition switch ON and engine stop switch
to RUN.
Depress the starter switch button.
The coil is normal if the starter relay switch clicks.
If you don't hear the switch "CLICK", inspect the
relay switch using the procedure below.
GROUND LINE
Disconnect the starter relay switch 4P connector.
Check for continuity between the Green/Red wire
(ground line) and ground.
If there is continuity when the transmission is in
neutral or when the clutch is disengaged and the
side stand switch is up, the ground circuit is normal
(In neutral, there is a slight resistance due to the
diode).
STARTER RELAY VOLTAGE
Connect the starter relay switch 4P connector.
Shift the transmission into neutral.
Measure the voltage between the Yellow/Red
(+)
wire and ground at the starter relay switch 4P
connector.
If the battery voltage appears only when the starter
switch is pressed with the ignition switch ON, it is
normal.
