4. STARTING SYSTEM
The starter is a device which converts the electrical energy of the battery to the mechnical
energy to crank the engine for start ing. The starting circuit consists of a push button switch
mounted on the right side of the handle bar which, when the starter button is pressed,
energizes the starter magnetic switch and closes the contacts of the starter circuit. This
permits approximately 120 A of current to flow from the battery to the starting motor,
which then rotates the engine to perform the starting.
