General
Always turn the ignition switch to "OFF" before servicing the starter motor. The motor could suddenly start, causing serious injury.
The starter motor can be serviced with the engine in the frame.
When checking the starter system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart, (page 18-2).
A weak battery may be unable to turn the starter motor quickly enough, or supply adequate ignition current.
If the current is kept flowing through the starter motor while the engine is not cranking over, the starter motor may be damaged.
For ignition switch, engine stop switch and clutch switch inspection, refer to Section 19.
For side stand and neutral switch inspection, see Section 19.
