Brakelight Switch
TESTING/REMOVING
1. Disconnect the brakelight switch grey and brown
two-wire connector (located near the brake lever).
2. To test the brakelight switch, connect one tester lead
to the brown terminal; then connect the other lead to
the black terminal.
3. With the brake lever compressed, the meter must
read 1 ohm or less resistance. With the brake lever
released, the meter must read OL (open). If the meter
does not read as specified, the brakelight switch is
defective and must be replaced.
4. To remove the switch, remove all brake fluid from
the reservoir; then remove the torx-head screws
securing the reservoir to the piston assembly; then
pry the brake switch from the piston assembly.

INSTALLING
1. Press the switch into the brake lever assembly mak-
ing sure it is fully seated.
2. Position the O-ring into the reservoir; then secure the
reservoir to the piston assembly using the existing
screws. Tighten securely.
3. Connect the switch harness to the main wiring har-
ness. Position the wires so they will not be either
pinched or come in contact with any moving compo-
nents. Start the engine and check the switch for
proper operation.
Headlight Dimmer Switch
REMOVING/TESTING
1. Remove the four screws securing the left-side han-
dlebar control assembly; then remove the control
assembly from the handlebar.
2. Disconnect the HI/LO beam harness from the switch.
3. With the switch in the LO beam position, connect
one ohmmeter lead to pin (A) and the other ohmme-
ter lead to pin (C). The meter must read 1 ohm or less
resistance.
CM109A
4. With the switch in the HI beam position, connect one
ohmmeter lead to pin (B) and the other ohmmeter
lead to pin (C). The meter must read 1 ohm or less
resistance.

NOTE: If either test does not read within specifica-
tion, replace the complete control assembly.
INSTALLING
1. Connect the HI/LO beam harness to the switch; then
place the control assembly on the handlebar.
2. Secure with the four screws.
Testing Handlebar
Warmer Elements

NOTE: Resistance will vary due to temperature;
therefore, this test should be made at room tempera-
ture of 20° C (68° F).

NOTE: To access the element connectors, the han-
dlebar control assembly for the side being tested
must be removed.
1. Remove the handlebar pad (if applicable); then dis-
connect the handlebar warmer three-wire connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 6.3-7.7 ohms.
