STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATION
The starting circuit on this model consists
of the starter motor, starter relay, and the
starting circuit cut-off relay. If the engine
stop switch is on "RUN" and the main
switch is on "ON" (both switches are
closed), the starter motor can operate only
if:
The transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed),
or
if
The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar
(the clutch switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up {the sidestand switch is
closed}.
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents
the starter from operating when neither of
these conditions have been met. In this
instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is
open so current cannot reach the starter
motor.
When at least one of the above conditions
have been met however, the starting circuit
cut-off relay is closed, and the engine can
be started by pressing the starter switch.
