The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based
on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion.
Momentarily press the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue
flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is
stationary, the signals will flash.
NOTES:
If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you press the switch for the opposite turn
signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing.
If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly press the turn signal switch a second
time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.
If a turn signal indicator is flashing at a high rate, a turn signal bulb is not operating. Exercise
caution and use hand signals. Replace defective components immediately.
Hazard Warning 4 Way Flasher
Use the following method to activate the four way flashers.
1. With the ignition key ON and security system disarmed (if equipped), press the left and right
turn signal switches at the same time.
2. Turn the ignition key OFF. The security system will automatically arm, if equipped, and the
four way flashers will continue for two hours.
3. To cancel four way flashing, disarm the security system if necessary, turn the ignition key
ON and press the left and right turn signal switches at the same time.
This system allows a stranded vehicle to be left in the four way flashing mode and secured until
help is found.
Indicator Lamps
See Indicator Lamps (Typical). Five indicator lamps are provided.
The left and right green TURN indicators, located on the ends of the indicator bar, flash
when a turn signal is activated. When the 4 way hazard flashers are operating, both turn
indicators will flash simultaneously.
The blue BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation.
The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.
The red OIL indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.
NOTE:
The OIL indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting engine. With
engine running, lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.
Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil indicator lamp to signal, include the
following:
If the oil pressure indicator lamp does not go off at speeds above idling, it is usually because
of an empty oil tank or diluted oil.
In freezing weather the oil feed may clog with ice and sludge, preventing oil circulation.
A grounded oil signal switch wire.
