LOL here I am laughing at all the people that never knew what the helmet lock was...

today I was messing around with the bike.  I turned the key to the "off" position.  I'm like the 3rd owner of my bike, it's a 99, and the previous owners must have used keychains with their keys, because it's scratched pretty bad up the triple around the ignition key. 

Anyway, if I push the key in slightly and try to turn it left, past the "off" position, there is actually a "lock" position, and then ANOTHER position after that that not only locks the forks, but keeps the tail lights on. (the "off" and other key positions are scratched off of mine, so I didn't know they were there LOL)

Neat stuff here guys..  I wonder what other secrets this thing has! LOL

First bike I take it......

  , didn't you wonder why a few people were draining their batteries on park?
whats next? the o-ring in the toolkit is actually the strap  (i actually just found that out a month ago  )

  Took me a while to get that one right too.  I killed a battery before I figured out my bike had parking lights.

Just a few minutes ago (still sweating) I found the RIGHT GRIP makes it louder.

wait, what is the o-ring in the toolkit for?  i guess i know very little about my bike. 

  i used to think it was like a gasket for a oil filter or something, nope just a strap to hold the tool kit in place haha

What does the left grip do?

The lever in front of the right grip is for "laying it down".  If you find yourself too hot or encounter a car in a turn, just squeeze hard!  All your problems will automatically be solved by physics and little gnomes.

Does any one know where the flux capacitor is stored

Wait, where is this 'toolkit' of which you speak?


Lol, seriously tho, I never bothered to look around in the toolkit until a few days ago. Maybe it was the previous owner that left it there, but there was a 17mm wrench for the oil drain plug. I can't believe I actually spent a good $5 on a 17mm socket a few months ago cuz I didn't have that size...

  Asshats; all of you
