es "3", clutch ca-
ble "4" and hot starter cable "5" be-
tween the multi-function display

3. Inspect:• Secondary coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace.
4. Inspect: • Sealed portion of ignition coil "a"
• Spark plug terminal pin "b"
• Threaded portion of spark plug "c"Wear →Replace.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect: • Pickup coil resistance
Out of specification →Replace. CHECKING THE NEUTRAL
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Neutral switch conduction
Not conductive while it is in neutral →
Replace.
Conductive while it is engaged →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE CDI UNIT
Check all electrical components. If no
fault is found, replace the CDI unit.
Then check the electrical compo-
nents again.
ELECTRIC STARTING
SYSTEM
STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF
SYSTEM OPERATION
If the main switch is set to "ON", 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 han- dlebar (the clutch switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay pre-
vents the starter motor from operating
when neither of these conditions has
been met. In this instance, the start-
ing circuit cut-off relay is open so cur-
rent cannot reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above con-
ditions has been met the starting cir-
cuit cut-off relay is closed and the
engine can be started by pressing the
start switch.

ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
CHECKING THE COUPLERS AND
LEADS CONNECTION
1. Check:• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→ Repair or replace.
CHECKING THE STARTER
MOTOR OPERATION
1. Connect the posi tive battery ter-
minal "1" and starter motor lead
"2" with a jumper lead "3".
Not operate →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, otherwise the jump-
er lead may burn.
• This check is likely to produce
sparks, therefore make sure
nothing flammable is in the vicin-
ity.
CHECKING THE STARTING
CIRCUIT CUT-OFF RELAY
1. Remove:• Starting circuit cut-off relay
2. Inspect:
• Starting circuit cut-off relay con-duction
Use 12 V battery.
Not conductive while the battery is
connected →Replace.
Conductive while the battery is not
connected →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE STARTER RELAY
1. Remove:
• Starter relay
2. Inspect: • Starter relay conduction
Use 12 V battery.
Not conductive while the battery is
connected →Replace.
Conductive while the battery is not
connected →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE CLUTCH SWITCH
1. Inspect: • Clutch switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pulled →Re-
place.
Conductive while it is freed →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE DIODE
1. Remove the diode from wire har- ness.
2. Inspect: • Diode continuity
Use pocket tester (tester selec-
tion position Ω × 1)
Incorrect continuity →Replace.
