When the switch is moved within range (A), the turn signal flashes until the switch is released, then the switch returns to the centre off position. Moving the switch beyond this range, the turn signal flashes and warning buzzer sounds until the switch is moved to the centre off position. Headlight Dimmer Switch Horn Passing Light Control Switch

Each rear shock absorber (1) has five adjustment positions for different types of road or riding conditions. Position III is the standard setting. Position I is for light loads and smooth road conditions. Positions II to V progressively increase spring tension for a stiffer rear suspension, and are used when the motorcycle is more heavily laden or operated on rough roads. Adjustment is made with the pin spanner.
