GS750 side light

[Jonny]

How do I turn it on?

There is a side light in the headlamp shell and it comes on with the dip beams, but I am unable to turn it on, on its own - there is no position for it on the switch.

I have looked at the manual, and on Robinson's Foundry website but there is no mention of it in either, not even in the wiring diagrams. Even a Goggle search turns up nothing.

It's a UK spec bike.

Any thoughts appreciated.

If its a UK spec bike the light switch should have - OFF - P and ON. P is obviously the sidelights (front and rear). Also check the ignition switch / lock - usually if bars are turned left full they can be locked without lights, if turned right full and key pushed in and turned to the right it will lock with sidelights on. My GSXR has that arrangement as did my GSX750ET so would imagine the GS would be similar?

Thanks mate. There only seems to be 2 positions on the switch, on or off. The lettering has worn away so I cannot see if there was a P position but it doesn't feel like it.

I'll give the lock thing a go... I didn't think about that.
