Trying not to spam this board but I've just picked up a 2013 Hyperstrada. Once home, I've found a random switch, any ideas? It doesn't seem to do anything obvious when I switch it.
Whatever it is, definitely not stock. Custom seat, maybe it's heated? Could also be connected to the batter as a means to cut power entirely to prevent parasitic drain when the bike is sitting for a long time?
that is a pretty good mystery.. i'm about to put a switch on mine to shut off the headlight.
i bought the bike with a headlight bulb out but the parking lights work (like drl's) i like it (and it passed inspection with them). i actually didnt know it was a problem until i rode it at night and thought "this thing has the worst lights ever"
so i'm gonna put a new bulb in and a switch to turn off the light.
Thanks for all the replies, I've tried switching whist running and before running, no change as far as I can tell. I've been busy riding or working this week so will try and follow the wires this weekend.
