STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION (FJR13A)
If the engine stop switch is set to “ ” and the main switch is turned “ON” (both switch circuits 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 circuit of the gear position switch is closed).
• The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (the clutch switch circuit is closed) and the sidestand is up
  (the sidestand switch circuit is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the starter motor from operating when neither of these condi-
tions has been met. In this instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay stays open so current 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 pushing the start switch “ ”.
