STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATION

The starting circuit on this model consists of the starter motor, starter relay, starting circuit cutoff relay, and sidestand relay. If the engine stop switch and the main switch are both on, the starter motor can operate only if:
• The transmission is in neutral (the neutral switch is on.) 
• The sidestand is up (the sidestand switch is on) and the clutch lever is pulled in (clutch switch is on.)

When the transmission is in neutral.

When the sidestand is up and the clutch lever is pulled in.

When the engine is running.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

THE STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE.
▼
Connect "L/W" lead from the starter relay 1 to the battery negative (-) terminal 2 ; use a jumper lead.	►	The engine does not rev smoothly.
		▼
		Recharge or replace the battery.
	►	The engine does not operate.
		▼
▼
		Check the battery voltage (12V) on the "L/W" lead from the starter relay.
The engine operates.
▼
		▼
Main and engine stop switches are turned to "ON".
		If the starter relay does not click, check the starter relay and starter motor.
▼
Connect "B/Y" lead to "ground" on the frame; use a jumper lead 1.
	►
		If the relay unit does not click, check the battery voltage (12V) on the "R/W" lead.
		▼
		Check for an open or poor connection between the main switch and relay unit.
▼
If the relay unit clicks, check the starter, sidestand, clutch and neutral switches. Replace switch(es) if necessary.

STARTING CIRCUIT CUTOFF RELAY (Relay Assembly) 

1. Remove:
• Seat
• Fuel tank

• Relay assembly 1

2. Check the relay contacts Use 12V battery 3 and Pocket Tester (90890-03112). Replace relayif out of specification.

Battery Connected: 0Ω 1  Battery Disconnected: ∞ 2

DIODE

1. Remove:
• Left side cover
• Diode 1

2. Check:
• Diode continuity/discontinuity 

Defective element(s) -> Replace the unit.

Checking element	Pocket tester connecting point		Good
	(+) (red)	(-) (black)
D,	G	L/W	O
	L/W	G	X
D2	Y	Sb	o
	Sb	Y	X
D3	W/G	W	o
	W	W/G	X
R	G	B/R	8.20

O: Continuity (0Ω) (Scale Ω x 1k) 
x : Discontinuity (∞) (Scale Ω x 1)

NOTE:
The results "o" or "x" should be reversed according to the pocket tester polarity.

 

NEUTRAL SWITCH

1.  Remove:
• Left side cover
• Panel

2.  Check the neutral switch contact. Replace if out of specification.

Shift pedal 3	In neutral	In gear
Tester	0Ω	∞Ω

1 Blue lead 
2 Ground

SIDESTAND SWITCH

1. Refer to neutral switch removal steps.

2. Check the sidestand switch 1 contact. Replace switch if out of specification.

Sidestand	Up 2	Down 3
Tester	0Ω	∞Ω

CLUTCH SWITCH

1. Remove headlight unit

2. Check clutch switch contact. replace if out of specification. 

Clutch lever	Pull in	Not pull in
Tester	0Ω	∞Ω

STARTER SWITCH 

1. Remove the headlight unit.

2. Check starter switch contact. Replace if out of specification.

 

Starter switch	ON	OFF
Tester	0Ω	∞Ω

STARTER RELAY Inspection

Preparation steps:
• Disconnect starter motor red lead.
• Connect Pocket Tester leads to relay terminals.
•Turn main switch to "ON".
• Turn engine stop switch to "RUN".
• Move shift pedal to "NEUTRAL"

Push starter switch to "ON"
