STARTER INTERLOCK 7.5

GENERAL

The starter interlock system is designed to prevent unin-

tended start-up.

Two circuits make up the starter interlock system.

Starter Circuit

The starter circuit prevents the motorcycle from being started

unless a ground has been established at the starter relay.

This ground may come from one of two sources.

● By placing the motorcycle in neutral and grounding

through the neutral switch.

● By disengaging the clutch and grounding through the

clutch lever switch.

Once the starter circuit is grounded and the starter button

pushed, the starter relay can be energized. The energized

relay then permits the starter motor to crank the engine.

Table 7-11. Starter Interlock Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CHECK FOR CORRECTION

Electric starter will not crank. Battery problems. See 7.11 BATTERY.

Inappropriate gear selected. Place vehicle in neutral.

Clutch lever not disengaged. Pull in clutch lever.

Starter relay problems. Listen for starter relay “click”. If click is not heard,

perform starter relay tests.
