NOTE
Harley-Davidson recommends removing key from ignition switch/fork lock before operating motorcycle. If you do not remove key, it can fall out during operation.
ACCESS - Accessories and hazard warning flasher can be turned on. Instrument lamps are on. Brake lamp and horn can be activated. Key may be removed.
