Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch,
clutch switch and neutral switch) has
the following functions.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is up, but the clutch le-
ver is not pulled.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
clutch lever is pulled, but the side-
stand is still down.
It cuts the running engine when
the transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system accord-
ing to the following procedure.

Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
See page 3-25 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator light should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Coolant temperature warning
light
Engine trouble warning light
Immobilizer system indicator
light
Oil pressure warning light
(This warning light comes on
again after going off briefly,
and then remains on until the
engine is started.)
NOTICE
ECA20790
If the above warning or indicator
lights do not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if a warning or indicator light
(except the oil pressure warning
light) remains on, see page 3-4
for the corresponding warning
and indicator light circuit check.
After going off once, the oil
pressure warning light will
come back on until the engine is
started. If the warning light doesnot come on, or if the warning
light does not go off after start-
ing the engine, see page 3-4 for
the engine oil pressure warning
light circuit check.
The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
