Ignition/Light Key Switch

Motorcycle riders must remain as visible as possible at all times. To aid in this, the headlight must be on at all times while operating. The headlights automatically operate when the engine is running. Do not modify the ignition/light switch wiring to circumvent the automatic headlight feature.

The ignition/light key switch controls the electrical functions of the motorcycle. The switch is located on the ignition cover on the left side of the motorcycle.

Before starting the engine , read the instructions for starting the engine. See Starting the Engine.

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the ignition key when leaving the motorcycle unattended.

Push the key into the ignition switch while turning it to the PARK position. In PARK, the taillight, indicator lights and license plate light illuminate. Vehicle powered accessories (if equipped) can be operated and the instrumentation is active. The ignition key can be removed.
