Lamp Check
Most of the indicator lights come on when you turn the ignition switch ON so you can check that they are working. Some indicators turn off after a few seconds; other remain on until or after the engine is started. The ABS indicator remains on until your motorcycle begins moving. All indicators are identified on the following pages with the words: Lamp Check.
If one of these indicators does not come on when it should, have your Honda dealer check for burned-out bulbs or other problems.
