IGNITION/HEADLAMP KEY SWITCH 7.3
GENERAL
1WARNING1WARNING
DO NOT modify the ignition/headlamp switch wiring to
circumvent the automatic-on headlamp feature. Visibility
is a major concern for motorcyclists. Failure to have
proper headlamp operation could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
See
Figure 7-2. The three-position combination ignition/head-
lamp key switch is not repairable. Replace the unit if it fails.
Switch positions are explained in Ta bl e 7-1.
CAUTION
When turning off the ignition, verify that the key is
removed in the OFF position and that the lights are not
left on. If the rider stops the engine and inadvertently
removes the key in the P position, the battery will be
drained of its charge if the vehicle is left standing too
long.
NOTE
The key locks the ignition system and is removable in both
the LOCK and P positions. The P position is located between
the OFF and IGNITION positions and allows the rider to
remove the key while leaving the lights on. When the key is
placed in the P position, several indicator markers are or can
be activated. See
Ta b l e 7-2.
