Is the spark plug in good condition, is it of the
correct type, and is its gap within specifica-
tion?
Re-gap or replace
the spark plug.

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 transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed).

The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (the
clutch switch is closed) and the sidestand is up
(the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the
starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this instance,
the starting circuit cut-off relay is open so cur-
rent cannot reach the starter motor. When at
least one of the above conditions has been met
the starting circuit cut-off relay is closed and the
engine can be started by pressing the starter
switch.

NEUTRAL

THE CLUTCH LEVER IS PULLED TO

3. Starter motor

Connect the positive battery terminal and
starter motor lead with a jumper lead .
Repair or replace the
starter motor.
A wire that is used as a jumper lead
must have at least the same capacity or
more as that of the battery lead, other-
wise the jumper lead may burn.

This check is likely to produce sparks,
therefore make sure nothing flammable
is in the vicinity.

Does the starter motor turn?
