Justinclarke42 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hey guys I have a question in regard to a bike I just bought. I notice the 1995 has a block off plate on the lights switch (right side handlebar switch) is this normal? I've noticed some bikes have the switch and some dont? I'm not sure why. But does anyone know if this is a requirement to pass a road inspection in canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Skids Posted October 12, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted October 12, 2019 Are the headlights on that model year of bike permanently on (with the ignition)? In the UK, for 95 models, there is a light switch as at that time there was no requirement for the lights to be permanently on. That came in much later. That is where the headlight switch would be located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justinclarke42 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 The bike is mostly apart right now harness included. When we did a test run of everything the headlight was permanently on. But taillights and signals where not light up. Which I would think is a problem for legal night riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted October 27, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted October 27, 2019 US-spec bikes of that era had no light switch. The lights were always on, so all you needed was a high beam switch on the other side. UK-spec bikes of that era had light switches: off, P and H (with P relating to the position lights). I long ago re-wired my US-spec bikes to use light switches (as well as Passing light switches), which just requires some used parts and some extra wire and terminals to do it in an "OEM" way.
