Yamaha YZF-R125 Service Manual: Starting circuit cut-off system operation

Yamaha YZF-R125 Service Manual / Electrical system / Electric starting system / 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 sidestand 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 conditions has been met, the starting circuit cut-off relay is closed and the engine can be started by pressing the start switch "
