STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to “ ” and the main switch is set to “ON” (both switches are closed),
the starter motor can only operate if at least one of the following conditions is met:
• The front brake lever is pulled to the handlebar (the front brake light switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
• The rear brake lever is pulled to the handlebar (the rear brake light switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relays 1 and 2 prevents the starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this instance, the starting circuit cut-off relays 1 and 2 are open so
current cannot reach the starter motor. When at least one of the above conditions has been met, the
starting circuit cut-off relays 1 and 2 are closed and the engine can be started by pressing the start
switch “ ”.
