A. Headlight High/Low Beam Switch
When the switch is pushed, the headlight
changes from low beam to high beam. It
st
ays in the selected position until it is
switched back. When in high beam position, the high
beam indicator on the lower dash illuminates.
B. Flash-to-Pass
When the headlight is in the low beam position, push
the fla
sh-to-pass switch and the high beam illuminates
and stays illuminated until the switch is released.
When released, this switch defaults back to the low
beam position. The high beam indicator also
illuminates.
C. F
ront Brake Lever Adjuster
Adjustment knob to set front brake lever position.

fer to “Front Brake Lever Adjuster”, on page 3-20.
D. Fron
t Brake Lever
The front brake lever controls the front brake when the
lever is squeezed. When braking, the throttle should
be in the closed position. The brake light also
illuminates.
E. Th
rottle Control
Twist the throttle in a counter-clockwise rotation (A) to
energize the motor
and start the motorcycle in a
forward direction. Release the throttle and it snaps
back to the closed position (B), de-energizing the
motor, and regenerative braking begins.
When the motorcycle is moving and the throttle
control is in the fully closed
position, the regenerative
braking feature activates. Regenerative braking takes
some of the energy from the moving motorcycle and
turns it back into electrical energy. This energy is then
stored back into the power pack, contributing to
increased energy efficiency. A slight drag is felt when
the regenerative braking is activated. If you want to
coast without the regenerative braking, hold the
throttle just off of the fully closed position.
