OK, This is strange. I parked my bike at work the other day, turned the key off, locked the steering & removed the key. When I got off work, the battery was dead, it is as if I left the headlight on... Seems like It has 3 off positions, regular off, steering lock & 1 more.
My switch isn't marked, the marks have worn off. Is there an accessory position I didn't know about? This is an 89 by the way...
should be the "park" position, which is one more position turned all the way counter-clockwise. and yes, it keeps your rear brake light on. gotta be careful with that.

I'm sure most of us have done that once! BTW :whisper: mine were labled but don't tell anybody!
Although the park function did come into effect when speaking with :police: about my ahem speed yesterday! Only time I've really used it he was impressed that I used it LOL. Part of me walking away like a scolded dog rather than a $261 ticket well that and the LEO memorial EOW T-shirt!

Yep. Been there. Done that. I think we've all done it at least once. :embarassed:
yup, i did it once as well
hahahahahhaha +1...... glad to see someone else get hit by dumb stuff left on from other countries..... I believe in Europe its some kinda law that they have to leave the park light on when on the side of the road or some stupid crap like that, I think they had a discussion on here about it.
excludes me. Probably have to have a rear brake switch for it to work :icon_confused:

Yep its a law in some parts of Europe, but whats so dumb about trying to prevent someone running into the back of your bike if its parked up at night on a fast road........to me it seems dumb not to........but hey-ho :dunno_black:
I'm all fine about having it I just wish I didn't have to lock the bars when doing it. Yesterday, when I used it for my ahem lecture :police: it made it sit in weird angle.
Just my .02 cents!

Well, around here, the CHP warn people to turn off the lights so as not to attract "following drunks"
