The lighting switch is used to activate the headlight
and taillight together. It is located on the ride
computer mounting bracket in front of the handlebar.
The taillight should turn on with the headlight in
either the HI or LO switch position. Be sure the
lighting operates properly before starting out.
NOTE :
The lights on your motorcycle are powered through
the engine management system relay. This relay
supplies voltage as long as the ECU tells it to. The
ECU itself has a 2 minute timer which will shut off
itself and the relay. If those two things are off, so is
the lighting, even if the switch is in either the HI or
LO position.
To turn the engine management system on, press
the engine START button quickly (1 second) without
holding to turn over the engine).
To test the headlight/taillight, quickly (1 second)
press the engine START button to activate the
engine management system. Toggle the switch
positions and observe that the headlight/taillight are
functioning properly. The HI and LOW intensity lamps
of the headlight should operate and the taillight
should remain lighted in both positions. If the
headlight or taillight does not work properly, check
the fuse and bulb. If the fuse or bulb is blown, correct
the problem before riding.
Select HI or LO intensity before moving off to
ride. Do not remove your hands from the
handlebar to toggle the switch while the vehicle
is moving. You could lose control and have an
accident.
NOTE :
Switch the lights off before attempting to start the
engine.
Return the switch to the center position when the
lighting is not required.
