starter interlocks

[baylensman]

I may be mis remembering. My old bike 96 "A" model I thought I could start it when it was in neutral while it was on the kick stand. I also thought that when it was in neutral it would start without the clutch being pulled in. Now the clutch must be in and the kick stand up, neutral doesn't seem to matter.

 

Is this correct or do I have a bad wire,switch or sensor? This is the bike I gave my son when I got the RSV.

Typically Yamaha uses the strategy

start in neutral

start in gear only if sidestand up and clutch in.

 

I would check and test the starting circuit cutoff relay. If its in neutral and the neutral light works, it suggests the neutral switch is functioning.

 

It would be helpful to view the wiring diagram for that model.
