Ignition/steering block switch
This switch has four operating positions.
Do not attach key rings or other objects to
the ignition key that could obstruct the rota-
tion of the steering.
The ignition switch activates and disactivates the elec-
trical system and the steering lock. The four control
positions are as follows:
“OFF” position
All electrical circuits are disactivated. The key can be
pulled out.
“ON” position
All electrical circuits are activated, the instruments and
warning lights carry out self-diagnosis and the engine
can be switched on. The key cannot be pulled out.
Do not attempt to change the functions of
the ignition switch whilst the motorcycle is
being ridden. It could cause the rider to lose
control of the machine.
“LOCK” position
Turn the handlebar left or right. Press the key down
and rotate it to the “LOCK” position.
All electrical circuits are disactivated and the steering
is blocked. The key can be pulled out.
“P” position
Rotate the key from the “LOCK” position to the “P”
position. All electrical circuits are disactivated except
for the sidelights. The steering is blocked. The key can
be pulled out.
If the ignition switch unit is damaged (it does not allow
the positioning of any one of the four positions), it must
be substituted with a new ignition switch unit following
the sequence of the disassembly as described in chap-
ter G “FRAME”.
