OUTLINE OF FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric tempera-
ture.
In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the com-
bustion chamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet that
is used in the respective chamber.
Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies by the engine operating
conditions, such as acceleration, deceleration, or operating under a heavy load. Carburetors that
meter the fuel through the use of jets have been provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an
optimum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant changes in the operating con-
ditions of the engine.
As the requirements for the engine to deliver more performance and cleaner exhaust gases
increase, it becomes necessary to control the air-fuel ratio in a more precise and finely tuned man-
ner. To accommodate this need, this model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection
(FI) system, in place of the conventional carburetor system. This system can achieve an optimum
air-fuel ratio required by the engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel
injection volume according to the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
The adoption of the FI system has resulted in a highly precise fuel supply, improved engine
response, better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions. Furthermore, the air induction sys-
tem (AI system) has been placed under computer control together with the FI system in order to
realize cleaner exhaust gases.

FEATURES INFO
FI SYSTEM
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure that is applied to the injector at only 284 kPa (2.84 kg/cm2, 40.4 psi) higher than the
intake manifold pressure. Accordingly, when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the
injector, the fuel passage opens, causing the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during
the time the passage remains open. Therefore, the longer the length of time the injector is energized
(injection duration), the greater the volume of fuel that is supplied. Conversely, the shorter the
length of time the injector is energized (injection duration), the lesser the volume of fuel that is sup-
plied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from
the throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake air pressure sensor, atmospheric
pressure sensor, intake temperature sensor and coolant temperature sensor enable the ECU to
determine the injection duration. The injection timing is determined through the signals from the
crankshaft position sensor and the cylinder identification sensor. As a result, the volume of fuel that
is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance with the driving conditions.

COMPONENTS
ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
The ECU is mounted underneath the seat. The main functions of the ECU are ignition control, fuel
control, self-diagnosis, and load control.
• ECU’s internal construction and functions
The main components and functions of the ECU can be broadly divided into the following four
items:
A. Power supply circuit
The power supply circuit obtains power from the battery (12 V) to supply the power (5 V) that is
required for operating the ECU.
B. Input interface circuits
The input interface circuits convert the signals output by all the sensors into digital signals,
which can be processed by the CPU, and input them into the CPU.
C. CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The CPU determines the condition of the sensors in accordance with the level of the signal that
is output by the respective sensor. Then, the signals are temporarily stored on the RAM in the
CPU. Based on those stored signals and the basic processing program on the ROM, the CPU
calculates the fuel injection duration, injection timing, and ignition timing, and then sends con-
trol commands to the respective output interface circuits.
D. Output interface circuits
The output interface circuits convert the control signals output by the CPU into actuating sig-
nals for the respective actuators in order to actuate them. They also output commands to the
indicator and relay output circuits as needed.

FEATURES INFO
• Ignition control
The ignition control function of the ECU controls the ignition timing and the duration of ignition
energizing. The ignition timing control uses the signals from the throttle position sensor (to detect
the angle of the throttle), and the crankshaft position sensor and speed sensor (to detect the
speed of the engine). This control establishes an ignition timing that suits the operating condition
of the engine through compensations made to the basic ignition timing control map. The ignition
energizing duration control establishes the energizing duration to suit the operating conditions by
calculating the energizing duration in accordance with the signal received from the crankshaft
position sensor and the battery voltage.
• Fuel control
The fuel control function of the ECU controls the injection timing and injection duration. The injec-
tion timing control controls the injection timing during the starting of the engine and the injection
timing during the normal operation of the engine, based on the signals received from the crank-
shaft position sensor and the cylinder identification sensor. The injection duration control deter-
mines the duration of injection based on the signals received from the atmospheric pressure
sensors, temperature sensors, and the position sensors, to which compensations are made to suit
various conditions such as the weather, atmospheric pressure, starting, acceleration, and deceler-
ation.
• Load control
The ECU effects load control in the following manner:
1. Stopping the fuel pump and injectors when the motorcycle overturns
The ECU turns OFF the fuel injection system relay when the lean angle cut-off switch is oper-
ated.
2. Operating the headlight illumination relay
The ECU controls the headlight relay 2 in accordance with the engine speed as required by the
daytime illumination specification.
3. Operating the radiator fan motor in accordance with the coolant temperature
The ECU controls the radiator fan motor relay ON/OFF in accordance with the coolant temper-
ature.
4. Operating the AI system solenoid valve
The ECU controls the energizing of the solenoid valve in accordance with the driving condi-
tions.
• Self-diagnosis function
The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnosis function to ensure that the engine control system is
operating normally. The ECU mode functions include a diagnosis mode in addition to the normal
mode.
Normal mode
• To check for any blown bulbs, this mode illuminates a engine trouble warning light while the
main switch is turned ON, and while the starter switch is being pressed.
• If the starting disable warning is activated, this mode alerts the rider by blinking the engine trou-
ble warning light while the start switch is being pressed.
• If a malfunction occurs in the system, this mode provides an appropriate substitute characteristic
operation, and alerts the rider of the malfunction by illuminating an engine trouble warning light.
After the engine is stopped, this mode displays a fault code on the clock LCD.
Diagnosis mode
• In this mode, a diagnostic code is input into the ECU through the operation of the operating
switch on the meter, and the ECU displays the values output by the sensors or actuates the
actuators in accordance with the diagnostic code. Whether the system is operating normally can
be checked by observing the illumination of the engine trouble warning light, the values dis-
played on the meter, or the actuating state of the actuators.

FEATURES INFO
Fuel pump
The fuel pump, which is mounted in the fuel tank, draws the fuel directly from the tank and pumps it
to the injector.
A filter that is provided in the fuel pump prevents any debris in the fuel tank from entering the fuel
system downstream of the pump.
The pump consists of a pump unit, electric motor, filter, and valves.
The pump unit is a Wesco type rotary pump that is connected to the motor shaft.
A relief valve is provided to prevent the fuel pressure from rising abnormally if the fuel hose
becomes clogged. This valve opens when the fuel pressure at the discharge outlet reaches
between 440 ~ 640 kPa (4.4 ~ 6.4 kg/cm2, 62.6 ~ 91.0 psi), and returns the fuel to the fuel tank.

FEATURES INFO
Pressure regulator
It regulates the fuel pressure that is applied to the injectors that are provided in the cylinders in order
to maintain a constant pressure difference with the pressure in the intake manifold.
The fuel that is delivered by the fuel pump fills the fuel chamber through the fuel inlet of the regulator
and exerts pressure on the diaphragm in the direction for opening the valve.
A spring that is provided in the spring chamber exerts pressure on the diaphragm in the direction for
closing the valve, in contrast to the pressure of the fuel. Thus, the valve cannot open unless the fuel
pressure overcomes the spring force.
An intake vacuum is applied to the spring chamber via a pipe. When the pressure of the fuel exceeds
the sum of the intake vacuum and the spring force, the valve that is integrated with the diaphragm
opens, allowing the fuel to return from the fuel outlet to the fuel tank, via the fuel return hose.
As a result, because the intake vacuum fluctuates in accordance with the changes in the operating
conditions in contrast to the constant volume of fuel supplied by the pump, the valve opening/clos-
ing pressure also changes to regulate the return fuel volume. Thus, the difference between the fuel
pressure and the intake manifold pressure remains constant at a prescribed pressure.

FEATURES INFO
Fuel injector
Upon receiving injection signals from the ECU, the fuel injector injects fuel. In the normal state, the
core is pressed downward by the force of the spring, as illustrated. The plunger that is integrated
with the bottom of the core keeps the fuel passage closed.
When the current flows to the coil in accordance with the signal from the ECU, the core is drawn
upward, allowing the flange that is integrated with the plunger to move to the spacer. Since the dis-
tance of the movement of the needle is thus kept constant, the opening area of the fuel passage
also becomes constant. Because the pressure difference of the fuel to the intake manifold pressure
is kept constant by the pressure regulator, the fuel volume varies in proportion to the length of time
the coil is energized. The injector that has been recently adopted has a four-hole type injection ori-
fice that enhances the atomization of fuel and improves combustion efficiency.

FEATURES INFO
Crankshaft position sensor
The crankshaft position sensor uses the signals of the pickup coil that is mounted on the right side
of the crankshaft. When the rotation of the pickup rotor that is attached to the crankshaft causes the
projections on the rotor to pass by the pickup coil, an electromotive force is generated in the coil.
The voltage of this force is then input into the ECU, which calculates the position of the crankshaft
and the speed of the engine. The ignition timing is then determined in accordance with the calcu-
lated data, in order to determine the corresponding injection timing. Based on the changes in the
time intervals of the signals generated by the pickup coil, the ECU calculates the ignition timing
advance to suit the operating conditions. The injection timing is also advanced in accordance with
the ignition timing in order to supply fuel to the engine at an optimal timing.

Cylinder identification sensor
The cylinder identification sensor is mounted on the middle of exhaust side head cover. When the
exhaust camshaft rotates, the sensor generates a signal and sends it to the ECU. Based on this sig-
nal and the signal from the crankshaft position sensor, the ECU then actuates the injector of the cyl-
inder that is currently in order to supply fuel.

Throttle position sensor
The throttle position sensor measures the intake air volume by detecting the position of the throttle
valve. It detects the mechanical angle of the throttle valve through the positional relationship
between the moving contact that moves in unison with the throttle shaft and the resistor board. In
actual operation, the ECU supplies 5 V power to both ends of the resistor board and the voltage that
is output by the throttle position sensor is used to determine the angle of the throttle valve.

FEATURES INFO
Intake air pressure sensor and atmospheric pressure sensor
• Intake air pressure sensor
The intake air pressure sensor is used for measuring the intake air volume. The intake air volume
of every intake stroke is proportionate to the intake air pressure. Therefore, the intake air volume
can be measured by measuring the intake air pressure. The intake air pressure sensor converts
the measured intake air pressure into electrical signals and sends those signals to the ECU. When
the intake air pressure is introduced into the sensor unit, which contains a vacuum chamber on
one side of the silicon diaphragm, the silicon chip that is mounted on the silicon diaphragm con-
verts the intake air pressure into electrical signals. Then, an integrated circuit (IC) amplifies and
adjusts the signals and makes temperature compensations, in order to generate electrical signals
that are proportionate to the pressure.
• Atmospheric pressure sensor
The atmospheric pressure sensor is used for making compensations to the changes in the air
density caused by the changes in the atmospheric pressure (particularly at high altitudes). The
operating principle and function of the atmospheric pressure sensor are the same as those of the
aforementioned intake air pressure sensor.

FEATURES INFO
Coolant temperature sensor
The signals from the coolant temperature sensor are used primarily for making fuel volume compen-
sations during starting and warm-up. The coolant temperature sensor converts the temperature of
the coolant into electrical signals and sends them to the ECU.
This sensor uses a semi-conductor thermistor that has a large resistance at low temperatures and a
small resistance at high temperatures. The thermistor converts the temperature-dependent changes
in resistance into electrical resistance values, which are then input into the ECU.

The intake temperature sensor corrects the deviation of the air-fuel mixture that is associated with
the changes in the intake air density, which are created by the changes in the intake air temperature
that occur due to atmospheric temperatures. This sensor uses a semi-conductor thermistor that has
a large resistance at low temperatures and a small resistance at high temperatures. The thermistor
converts the temperature-dependent changes in resistance into electrical resistance values, which
are then input into the ECU.

Lean angle cut-off switch
The lean angle cut-off switch stops the supply of fuel to the engine in case the motorcycle overturns.
When the motorcycle is in the normal state, the cut-off switch outputs a constant voltage of approxi-
mately 1.0 V (low level). When the motorcycle tilts, the float in the switch tilts in proportion to the tilt
of the motorcycle. However, the voltage output to the ECU remains unchanged at the low level.
When the tilt of the motorcycle exceeds 65 degrees (according to the tilt of the float), the signal from
the sensor increases to approximately 4.0 V (high level). When the ECU receives the high-level volt-
age, it determines that the motorcycle has overturned, and stops the delivery of fuel to the engine by
turning OFF the fuel injection system relay that powers the fuel pump and the injectors. Once the
cut-off switch is tripped, the ECU maintains this state; therefore, even if the motorcycle has recov-
ered its upright position, this state will not be canceled unless the main switch is turned OFF, and
then turned back ON.

FEATURES INFO
Operation and control
The fuel injection timing, injection duration, ignition timing, and the coil energizing duration are con-
trolled by the ECU. To determine the basic injection timing, the ECU calculates the intake air volume
through the signals from the intake air pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, cylinder identifica-
tion sensor, and crankshaft position sensor.
Furthermore, the ECU calculates the final injection timing by adding the following compensations to
the aforementioned basic injection duration: those obtained from the state of acceleration, as well
as those based on the signals from various sensors such as the coolant temperature, intake tem-
perature and atmospheric. At the same time, the ECU assesses the crankshaft position through the
signals from the cylinder identification sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. Then, when the
ECU determines that it is time to inject fuel, it sends an injection command to the injectors. Further-
more, the ECU also controls the length of time the coil is energized by calculating the ignition timing
and the coil energizing duration based on the signals from these sensors.
Determining the basic injection duration
The intake air volume determines the basic injection duration. In order to operate the engine in an
optional condition, it is necessary to supply fuel at an air-fuel ratio that corresponds appropriately to
the volume of intake air that is constantly changing, and to ignite it an appropriate timing. The ECU
controls the basic injection duration based on the intake air volume and engine speed data.

Determining the final injection duration
The intake air volume determines the basic injection duration. However, at a given intake air vol-
ume, the volume of fuel that is required varies by the engine operating conditions such as accelera-
tion or deceleration, or by weather conditions. This system uses various sensors to precisely check
these conditions, applies compensations to the basic injection duration, and determines the final
injection duration based on the operating condition of the engine.

Reactive injection duration:
A lag is created between the time the ECU outputs a fuel injection signal to the injector and the time
the injector actually opens. Therefore, the ECU calculates this lag in advance before sending the
actuation signal to the injector. The battery voltage determines the reactive injection duration.
• High voltage → short reactive injection duration
• Low voltage → long reactive injection duration

• Over-revving control
This function effects fuel cut-off control when the engine speed becomes greater than the pre-
scribed value. The fuel cut-off control regulates the engine speed by stopping the injection of fuel
into two cylinders when the engine speed becomes greater than the specified value. If the engine
speed increases further, this control stops the injection of fuel to all the cylinders. Thus, the over-
revving control effects fuel cut-off control in two stages.

THREE-WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER SYSTEM
System outline
This is a highly efficient exhaust gas cleaning system that effects air-fuel control through a joint
effort by the FI system and the three-way catalytic converter system. By effecting comprehensive
control of the air-fuel ratio in this manner, this system reduces the CO, HC, and NOx in the exhaust
gases.
The FI system controls the mixture to an optimal air-fuel ratio (basic air-fuel ratio) that matches the
operating condition of the engine in order to realize an ideal combustion.
Through the joint effort of these control systems, the exhaust gas is cleaned in a highly efficient
manner without sacrificing engine performance.

NOTE:
@
• The thickness a of each valve pad is marked

in hundredths of millimeters on the side that
touches the valve lifter.
• Since valve pads of various sizes are origi-
nally installed, the valve pad number must be
rounded in order to reach the closest equiva-
lent to the original.

= 148 (thickness =1.48 mm)
Rounded value = 150
d. Locate the rounded number of the original
valve pad and the measured valve clear-
ance in the valve pad selection table. The
point where the column and row intersect is
the new valve pad number.
NOTE:
@
The new valve pad number is only an approxi-

mation. The valve clearance must be mea-
sured again and the above steps should be
repeated if the measurement is still incorrect.
e. Install the new valve pad 1 and the valve

lifter 2.
NOTE:
@
• Lubricate the valve pad with molybdenum

disulfide grease.

may be blown out, which could cause seri-
ous injury. When the engine has cooled,
open the radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radiator
cap and slowly turn the radiator cap coun-
terclockwise toward the detent to allow any
residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-

LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained prop-
erly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the
drive chain should be serviced, especially
when the motorcycle is used in dusty areas.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings between each side plate.
Steam cleaning, high-pressure washing, cer-
tain solvents, and the use of a coarse brush
can damage these O-rings. Therefore, use
only kerosene to clean the drive chain. Wipe
the drive chain dry and thoroughly lubricate it
with engine oil or chain lubricant that is suit-
able for O-ring chains. Do not use any other
lubricants on the drive chain since they may
contain solvents that could damage the O-
rings.

D A C ID WARNING
A _
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas

and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
• Skin — Wash with water.
• Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
• Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
CAUTION:
_
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove the

sealing caps because the balance
between cells will not be maintained and
battery performance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batter-
ies. The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charg-
ing the battery.
3 - 58
CHK
NOTE:
_
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possi-

ble to check the charge state of the battery by
measuring the specific gravity of the electro-
lyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to
be checked by measuring the voltage at the
battery terminals.
1. Remove:
• rider seat
Refer to “SEATS”
2. Disconnect:
• battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
CAUTION:

_
• Never remove the MF battery sealing

caps.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle. (If charg-
ing has to be done with the battery
mounted on the motorcycle, disconnect
the negative battery lead from the battery
terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
• Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure
to turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery termi-
nal and that they are not shorted. A cor-
roded battery charger lead clip may
generate heat in the contact area and a
weak clip spring may cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process,
disconnect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
• As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery stabi-
lizes about 30 minutes after charging has
been completed. Therefore, wait 30 min-
utes after charging is completed before
measuring the open-circuit voltage.

This motorcycle has a drive chain with

small rubber O-rings 1 between the drive
chain side plates. Never use high-pressure
water or air, steam, gasoline, certain sol-
vents (e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to
clean the drive chain. High-pressure meth-
ods could force dirt or water into the drive
chain’s internals, and solvents will deterio-
rate the O-rings. A coarse brush can also
damage the O-rings. Therefore, use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain. Don’t
soak drive chain in kerosine more them ten
minutes. O-ring is damage by kerosine.

ECU’S SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the engine control sys-
tem is operating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately oper-
ates the engine under substitute characteristics and illuminates the engine trouble warning light to
alert the rider that a malfunction has occurred in the system. Once a malfunction has been detected,
it becomes stored in the ECU memory in the form of a fault code.
• To inform the rider that the fuel injection stop function is active, the engine trouble warning light
blinks while the start switch is being pressed to start the engine.
• If a malfunction in the system is detected by the self-diagnostic function, this mode provides an
appropriate substitute characteristic operation, and alerts the rider of the detected malfunction by
illuminating a engine trouble warning light.
• After the engine has been stopped, digital numbers representing the self-diagnostic fault codes
appear on the clock LCD. Once a self-diagnostic fault code has been displayed, it remains stored
in the ECU memory until a deletion operation is performed.

SUBSTITUTE CHARACTERISTICS OPERATION CONTROL (FAIL-SAFE ACTION)
If the ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor while the motorcycle is being driven, the ECU
illuminates the engine trouble warning light and provides the engine with substitute characteristic
operation instructions that are appropriate for the type of the malfunction.
When an abnormal signal is received from a sensor, the ECU processes the specified values that
are programmed for every sensor, in order to provide the engine with substitute characteristics
operation instructions that enable the engine to continue to operate (or to stop its operation,
depending on circumstances).
The ECU takes fail-safe actions in two ways: one in which the sensor output is set to a prescribed
value, and the other in which the ECU directly operates an actuator. Details on the fail-safe actions
are given in the table below.

DIAGNOSTIC MODE
• In this mode, diagnostic codes are input into the ECU in accordance with the number of times the
start switch has been operated.
• In accordance with the diagnostic codes, the ECU displays the values received from the sensors
and actuates the actuators.
• Whether or not the system is operating normally is determined by a human operator through the
observations of the values indicated by the engine trouble warning light or the actuating condi-
tions of the actuators.

Diagnostic mode table
Set the meter display from the regular mode to the diagnosis mode. For the setting method, refer to
“DIAGNOSTIC MODE”.
NOTE:
• Check the intake temperature and coolant temperature as close as possible to the area in which
the respective sensor is mounted.
• If it is not possible to check it with an atmospheric pressure gauge, judge it by using 760 mmHg
(29.9 inHg) as the standard.
• If it is not possible to check the intake temperature, use the ambient temperature as reference
(use the compared values for reference).

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FI
EAS00507
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

AIR INDUCTION
The air induction system burns unburned
exhaust gases by injecting fresh air (second-
ary air) into the exhaust port, reducing the
emission of hydrocarbons.
When there is negative pressure at the
exhaust port, the reed valve opens, allowing
secondary air to flow into the exhaust port. The
required temperature for burning the unburned
exhaust gases is approximately 600 to 700 °C
(1,100 to 1,300 °F).
EAS00508
AIR CUT-OFF VALVE
The air cut-off valve is controlled by the signals
from the ECU in accordance with the combus-
tion conditions. Ordinarily, the air cut-off valve
opens to allow the air to flow during idle and
closes to cut-off the flow when the motorcycle
is being driven. However, if the coolant tem-
perature is below the specified value, the air
cut-off valve remains open and allows the air
to flow into the exhaust pipe until the tempera-
ture becomes higher than the specified value.

CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY

Check each switch for continuity with the
pocket tester. If the continuity reading is incor-
rect, check the wiring connections and if nec-
essary, replace the switch.
CAUTION:

_
• Before checking for continuity, set the pocket

tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1” range.
• When checking for continuity, switch back
and forth between the switch positions a few
times.
The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,

main switch, engine stop switch) are shown in
an illustration similar to the one on the left.
The switch positions a are shown in the far
left column and the switch lead colors b are
shown in the top row in the switch illustration.

TYPES OF BULBS
The bulbs used on this motorcycle are shown
in the illustration on the left.
• Bulbs A and B are used for the headlights
and usually use a bulb holder that must be
detached before removing the bulb. The
majority of these types of bulbs can be
removed from their respective socket by
turning them counterclockwise.
• Bulbs C is used for turn signal and tail/
brake lights and can be removed from the
socket by pushing and turning the bulb
counterclockwise.
• Bulbs D and E are used for meter and indi-
cator lights and can be removed from their
respective socket by carefully pulling them

STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM
OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to “ ” and the
main switch is set to “ON” (both switches are
closed), the starter motor can only operate if at
least one of the following conditions is met:
• The transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed).
• The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar
(the clutch switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the

starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this
instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is
open so current cannot reach the starter
motor. When at least one of the above condi-
tions has been met the starting circuit cut-off
relay is closed and the engine can be started
by pressing the starter switch.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and under

certain circumstances there can be a dan-
ger of an explosion or fire. Be extremely
careful and note the following points:
• Stop the engine before refueling.
• Do not smoke, and keep away from open
flames, sparks, or any other source of
fire.
• If you do accidentally spill gasoline, wipe
it up immediately with dry rags.
• If gasoline touches the engine when it is
hot, a fire may occur. Therefore, make
sure the engine is completely cool before
performing the following test.
1. Check:
