ELECTRIC STARTER
STARTER RELA V SWITCH
INSPECTION
18-10
Remove the seat cowl (page 2-2).
Shift the transmission into neutral.
Turn the ignition switch ON and engine stop switch
to RUN.
Push the starter switch.
The coil is normal ifthe 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) terminal and ground.
If there is continuity when the transmission is in
neutral or when the clutch is disengaged and the
side stand is retracted, 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
terminal
(+)
and ground (-).
If the battery voltage appears only when the starter
switch is pushed with the ignition switch ON and
engine stop switch to RUN, it is normal.
OPERATION CHECK
Disconnect the starter relay switch 4P connector
and cables.
Connect a fully charged 12 V battery positive wire
to the relay switch yellow/red wire terminal and
negative wire to the green/red wire terminal.
There should be continuity between the large termi-
nals while the battery is connected, and no
continuity when the battery is disconnected.
