hi, have posted this on other site but still not sure if this is correct ?? thought that the switch was a 2 position one only ?? low or high beam ?
well i pushed it to the far right by mistake, and the light went out ? is this ok ?..or am i doing wrong ?.could this damage anything ? as sometimes it maybe or use to switch the scooter on, without lights on all the time..thanks in advance, martyn

sounds like switch is faulty

lights should come on as soon as ignition is turned on and only option should be HI or LOW

lights off is not an option this is due to european directive 1223785693592335898237478236782365875572394723897239857489572392739523759875857874895748957487485745943098239586985687687 subsection B 129857757892374932759759573957239457239723957957025903450548arse Wink

maver, 1st how you going mate, trust all ok..anyway sw is ok..its just that if you press a little harder to the right, you can turn light off ???? was thinking is that what all the gts range would be like..anyway iv pushed it back now, all ok.....but someone on here hopefully will say that theres did same as me.. Laughing

...as just got back from my 1st service.....did,nt know about it till i got home..could be a useful thing if it can be turned off through..martyn

it's not meant to do it, end of Laughing

obviously the switch is going past the point of contact and contact is being lost, i wouldn't persist in doing this as you may well end up with a broken switch Wink

as for not needing the lights on i can't think of a situation when it would be useful unless of course you're in the SAS, is there something you're not telling us martyn Question

oh, and don't hang your coat over the headlight when it's on, the lens of the headlight will melt Shocked

I've got that 3rd light position on my GTS.Have to press quite hard on the right of the switch,but it seems a proper thing as it leaves the pilot light in the headlamp on ,along with the running light and rear light. Rolling Eyes

apparently there is a little tab that limits the movement of the rocker part of the switch, if that breaks off due to the switch being pressed too hard then it allows this to happen.

Well I'm convinced mines a 3 position swich,otherwise whats the point in having the small pilot bulb in the headlamp.And you've already said lights have to be on so it's not an off swich.CT should know the awnser to this one.

permanent lights on is a great idea, if we're all on the run i can look in my mirror count 8 headlights and know everyone took the right junction, ................oh and then search my mirrors for the P2 with no light on Laughing
