WARNING
The automatic-on headlamp feature provides increased visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00030b)
WARNING
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)
The motorcycle has keyless ignition. A key is not required to operate the motorcycle. Instead, an assigned security fob must be present or the PIN must be used before the motorcycle can be started.
The key supplied with the motorcycle is for the fork lock. See Controls and Indicators → Fork Lock.
Ignition Mode
With security fob present, set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN. The lights and instruments become operational and the motor can be started. To disarm the security system using the PIN, see SECURITY SYSTEM → Arming and Disarming.
The motorcycle remains on (or the engine continues running) until the OFF/RUN switch is set to OFF. Taking the security fob out of range will not shut down the engine or turn off the motorcycle after it is turned on. However, if the motorcycle is driven off without the fob present, the speedometer temporarily displays a "NO FOB" message.
When parked, set the OFF/RUN switch to OFF and take the security fob to prevent theft or startup. With the security fob out of range, the starter, ignition system and OFF/RUN switch remain disabled, immobilizing the motorcycle.
Accessory Mode
With the security fob present, press and hold the trip switch. The instruments and accessory circuit are powered while the headlamp and turn signal lamps remain OFF. While in accessory mode, the instruments display the fuel gauge and odometer functions. The headlamp can be activated by pressing the headlamp flash to pass switch.
To turn the motorcycle back off, press and hold the trip switch.
To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the motorcycle in accessory mode for an extended period. If the vehicle is left in accessory mode for 2 hours, the motorcycle automatically shuts off to prevent complete battery discharge. To resume accessory mode, press and hold the trip switch again.
