The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (theclutch switch is closed) and the sidestand is up(the sidestand switch is closed).The starting circuit cutoff relay prevents thestarter motor from operating when neither ofthese conditions has been met. In this instance,the starting circuit cutoff relay is open so currentcannot reach the starter motor. When at leastone of the above conditions has been met thestarting circuit cutoff relay is closed and the en-gine can be started by pressing the start switch.WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS INNEUTRALWHEN THE SIDESTAND IS UP ANDTHE CLUTCH LEVER IS PULLED TOTHE HANDLEBAR1 Battery2 Main fuse3 Main switch4 Ignition fuse5 Engine stop switch6 Starting circuit cutoff relay7 Diode8 Clutch switch9 Sidestand switch10 Neutral switch11 Start switch12 Starter relay13 Starter motor
