ELECTRICAL STARTING MECHANISM
Turn the main switch to the “ON” position, and press the starting motor button, and listen for a “click” sound.
If there is, it is normal; if there isn’t, follow the procedures below:
Inspect if the brake switch is conductive. Turn the main switch on and hold the brake lever.
Measure the voltage between the inlet line (the green/yellow line) starting relay and the ground wire of the
The voltmeter reading should be close to the battery voltage. If not, then the brake switch is bad.
Inspect if the start button is conductive. At this time, remove the starting relay inlet line (the green/yellow line).
Connect the yellow/red line with the ground wire, and press the start button. It should be conductive between
the yellow/red line and the ground wire, or the start button, is bad.
The starter motor is a direct current (DC) motor. Its structure is shown in the picture below:

SAFETY Note: Before removal, shut off the main switch and disconnect the battery connecting wire. Then
press the starting button to ensure that the starter motor will not run.
• Remove the starter motor lead wire clamp.
• Remove the starter motor holding bolt and remove the starter motor.
