Turning off lights with indicators switch - 07 RT

[RoSPA_man]

Hi

I tried the Search to find the procedure for turning off lights on the RT- can anyone remind me what it is please - some combo of Indicator cancel switch for 5 seconds etc?

First off- Key on (or engine running) with lights on lo beam..

 

Then_ hold the turn signal (cancel) button in for 4-5 seconds..

 

Then_ hold the (right turn signal button) in for 4-5 secs..

 

The headlamp should then go out until either a new ignition cycle or the high beams are used..

Also during this procedure the bike must be stopped.

That's really cool.

 

Now I don't have to unplug them for Jennings next week.

 

Yeah, they'll be taped over, but I don't like the heat on the back of the tape.

Not to mention the extra 0.17 Horsepower you'll gain! (110watts @ 85% generator effeciency)

Funny, on my 2007 ST I can do this while in motion.

Interesting. On my 2006 RT and on 2005 GS models the rear wheel must be stationary. I believe this is designed this way to avoid inadvertent turning off of the headlights while riding. I presume your speedo and ABS are working correctly?

Tried this on my 05 RT and the headlights remain on.

Yes, they are. Unfortunately my bike is now in winter storage so I can't double check my previous post.
