IGNITION SYSTEM
INSPECTION STEPS
Use the following steps for checking the possibility of the malfunctioning engine being attributable to
ignition system failure and for checking the spark plug which will not spark.
NOTE:
Remove the following parts before inspection.
1) Seat
2) Fuel tank
Use the following special tools in this inspection.
Spark gap testClean or replace
spark plug.
Check entire ignition
system for connection.Repair or replace.
Check main switch.
(TT-R90E only)Replace.
Check “ENGINE STOP”
switch.Replace.
Check ignition coil. Primary coil Replace.
Secondary coil Replace.
Check CDI magneto. Pickup coil Replace.
Source coil Replace.
Replace CDI unit.

ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
(TT-R90E)
STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM
OPERATION
If the main switch is set to “ON”, the starter
motor can only operate if the following condi-
tion is met:
The transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the
starter motor from operating when this condi-
tion has not been met. In this instance, the
starting circuit cut-off relay is open so current
cannot reach the starter motor. When the
above condition has been met the starting cir-
cuit cut-off relay is closed and the engine can
be started by pressing the start switch.
