Title: Ignition positions L&P
Post by: vavision on November 01, 2005, 03:03:32 PM
I've been forgetting to ask this question forever. It's a great sign when all you need advice for on your Vision is a faded letter on the ignition. I'm assuming L stands for lock, is P for park? What does it do?

Lock locks your bars when you've got them tilted all the way to the left, and P drains your battery flat... errr I mean turns on your parking lights :p  I've never found a use for it, but I've heard it's a legal requirement in some areas for the bike to be capable of that.

Mine must be disabled. I thought it might have something to do with lights so I walked around it in P mode but nothing was on. Oh well. Would be a neat thing to hook some neon LED's to when I park it on the sidewalk at the movie theaters. Maybe the cops will think it's on display!   ;D

No one I knew had any ideas why cars had to have parking lights either. I read through the rule book here in south oz and it says if your vehicle is parked on the street at night and is not clearly visible from 300meters away, you need to have the parkers on.
