Starter motor will not run
Step 1
1) Grasp the clutch lever, turn on the ignition switch with the engine stop switch in the "RUN" position and side-stand switch in the "ON" position.
2) Listen for a click from the starter relay when the starter button is pushed.
Is a click sound heard?
- YES: Go to Step 2.
- NO: Go to Step 3.
Step 2
1) Check if the starter motor runs when its terminal is connected to the © battery terminal (Do not use a thin wire because a large amount of current flows.) Does the starter motor run?
- YES:
- Faulty starter relay.
- Loose or disconnected starter motor lead wire.
- Loose or disconnected between starter relay and (+) battery terminal.
- NO: Faulty starter motor.
Step 3
1) Measure the starter relay voltage at the starter relay connectors (between B/Y and Y/G) when the starter button is pushed.
Is a voltage OK?
- YES: Go to Step 4.
- NO:
- Faulty gear position switch.
- Faulty starter button.
- Faulty engine stop switch.
- Faulty turn signal/side-stand relay.
- Faulty ignition switch.
- Faulty clutch switch.
- Faulty side-stand switch.
- Improper connector contact.
- Open circuit in wire harness.
Step 4
1) Inspect the starter relay. (8-19)
Is the starter relay OK?
- YES: Poor starter relay connection.
- NO: Faulty starter relay.
Step 5
The starter motor runs when the transmission is neutral with the side-stand up or down, but does not run when the transmission is in any position other than neutral with the side-stand down.
1) Inspect the side-stand switch. (8-20)
Is the side-stand switch OK?
- YES:
- Open circuit in wire harness.
- Poor contact of connector.
- NO: Faulty side-stand switch.
Engine does not turn though the starter motor runs
Faulty starter clutch. (3-79)
