Engine Stop Switch
The two position engine stop switch is next to the throttle grip. When the switch is in the
(RUN) position, the engine will operate. When the switch is in the (OFF) position, the
engine will not operate. This switch is intended primarily as a safety or emergency switch and
should normally remain in the (RUN) position.
NOTE:
If your motorcycle is stopped with the ignition switch ON and the engine stop switch OFF,
the headlight and taillight will still be on, resulting in battery discharge.
Starter Button
The starter button is below the engine stop switch. When the starter button is pressed, the
starter motor will crank the engine. If the engine stop switch is in the (OFF) position, the
starter motor will not operate.
