DESCRIPTION
The starter system is shown in the diagram below: namely, the starter motor, relay, interlock switch, starter
button, engine stop switch, IG switch and battery. Depressing the starter button (on the right handlebar
switch box) energizes the relay, causing the contact points to close which connects the starter motor to
the battery. The motor draws about 80 amperes to start the engine.
