Question on Euro-market switchgear

Can anyone advise WHAT that center position switch is for?

Dunno, but I wish I had one. I’d use that switch to wire up 4-way flashers. Where’d you find it?

Right-lights off
Centre-parking light (usually a 5w lamp in headlamp shell and rear lamp)
Left-headlights on
EU regulations now require dipped headlight on at all times.

Thanks for the clarification, Marvin. We no longer are permitted a lights-OFF option on cycles over here.
Sorry CJ, it's for a Yamaha. I should've been more clear.

Ditto Marvicon. The centre position illuminates the two 5w bulbs incorporated in the headlight shell and the rear lights, Rather like 'sidelights' on cars.

Sidelights have become rather useless lately. When I first started driving back in the late 70's most people would switch them on during late evening or dusk when it was still light enough to see (but made your vehicle more visible), but not quite dark enough for headlights.

Yep, I remember that Loosemarbles.
It wasn't such a daft idea, you made yourself more visible without dazzling everybody else. Nowadays its additional lights, extra bright bulbs, led lights like lasers and I'm not convinced they make things safer, in fact I believe the result is to the contrary.

Jeez, I've only been retired 5 days and listen to me

i have a spare one if anyone wants it only fitted to the early 2001/2 fjs600
