RIGHT HANDLEBAR CONTROLS

Engine Stop Switch

The engine stop switch (1) is next to the
throttle grip. When the switch is in the RUN
position, the engine will operate. When the
switch is in the OFF position, the engine will
not operate. This switch is intended primarily
as a safety or emergency switch and should
normally remain in the RUN position.
If your motorcycle is stopped with the ignition
switch ON and the engine stop switch OFF, the
headlight and taillight will still be on, resulting
in battery discharge.

Starter Button

The starter button (2) is below the engine stop
switch (1).
When the starter button is pressed, the starter
motor will crank the engine; the headlight will
automatically go out, but the taillight will stay
on.
The starter motor will not operate when the
starter button is pressed if the engine stop
switch is in the OFF position.
