What is the little blue light for?

[barbwire44]

Ya I know I 'm a noob, but what is the small blue light on the left side below the instrument panel for ??

[chairhead]

Little blue light as in high/main beam?(headlights on)as opposed to dipped beam

left side? does it look like the row of lights along the top of the instrument cluster? or is it different? if it's different, probably something a previous owner added.... if I remember correctly, the high beam is on the top right side, in the same horizontal row of lights with the turn signals, oil, etc.

got a picture of the light?

[barbwire44]

no it doesn't look like anything on the instument panel, it looks like a small indicator/bullet styled light. It is not the headlight beam indicator. I am not sure what it does, It definately has wires going to the harness, Also there is a switch beside the auxillary power port on the lower left side of the bike, couldn't find it in the manual either??

Sounds like an alarm.....

C'mon, picture :roll: ,im curious now and one of the switch

[barbwire44]

picture...ok,ok. they both look pretty factory, especially the switch, it is right next to the power accessory plug....have no idea what it does? I will have to get a picture tonight, no camera here at work.

This is deffinitely something the previous owner has done since there is no accessory socket in the dash as standard. Could well be the alarm indicator although my DATAtool came with a red LED. The switch is likely to be the heated grips. Maybe he wired in a light for them.

hold on, maybe I'm confusing you guys, the switch I'm asking about is on the left side of the bike, near where your leg would be, there is a accessory plug there, and the switch is beside it, and it sure looks factory. The blue light is on the lower left part of the dash, under the all the other instruments and lights.

Maybe the previous owner fitted a switch to the socket so he can turn it on & off...& also fitted a warning light so he knows when its on  :roll:

[walker]

wired up a light for heated grips to know when they were on? some other accessory that might not turn off with the ignition so you remember to turn that something off?

Laser gun traffic management ssytem  :lol:

here is the dash

[JasonS]

... The switch is an Aux "on" for the power outlet, and the blue light is to let you know it is on... why else put the switch next to the power outlet?

of course one could strip the tank and dash off and trace the wiring...:)

I will have to get one of the switch now, but turning the switch doesn't activate this light??? And the grip switch is seperate and doesn't activate the light either.
