Day running lights only?

whiskeykevin93 · Jul 9, 2020

Hey Guys, does anyone know how to control the lights? Normally, I have both upper day running lights on + the right side on (when sat on bike). But I see a lot of pictures of V2's with only the top day running lights on. I just can't figure out how to have that. Does it have to do with where I'm located? or the time? Thanks for your help!

In the Settings Menu...DRL: auto/manual
Auto will change automatically based on light brightness
Manual you change it yourself
To change it manually switch on Highbeam and push the light button on the RH switchgear, then turn off Highbeam. Now your bike will switch back and forth at the push of the button.

I just noticed that my V2 doesn't have the light button on the RH switchgear. But on the left side, I do have a button I can press with my index finder, it look like a ''trigger''. That button is to light up the high beam for a pass or whatever. Is that button the same as yours on the RH side?

The index finger trigger is flash to pass or don't pull out in front of me on the left side

Hey, yes I know, I was just wondering if the button that @ChrisDunam has on hid HR switchgear was the same button. I think I might have different lighting option because of the laws here in Canada. Is there a Canadian here that owns a V2?

So I was wondering about the DRLs as well. I have mine set to auto which changes the screen either white or black depending on the ambient lighting. When the screen is black it thinks its nighttime and runs the normal headlights. When the screen is white and has plenty of light it turns off the headlamps and runs the DRLs. Just make sure you arent running highbeams (blue dash light is on instead of green) because that will kill the DRL.

In some countries the V2 does NOT get the headlight button on the RH switch assembly.
I’m in the United States and we do get that button

Hey! I’m from the GTA, I can’t figure this out either.. did you have any luck or is it a Canadian restriction??

So do we have it in the EU...

Canadians do not have that option apparently. There may be a way to get it done at a dealer or by a mechanic who is your buddy. But I've been told, it is "illegal" (Notice the "")

The single left headlamp looks flat-out weird.

So I just run both headlamps :shrug: (which, technically, is also "illegal")

Day running lights only?
