Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, does the ST1300 have a parking light function, I can't find anything in the owners manual
-
If there is one it may be selected on the ignition switch
-
No option for parking lights on Australian delivered models, all lights are on when ignition is on.
-
Given the two small lights at the front it would be an interesting mod to wire up parking lights :think1 :think1
-
I doubt it would be too difficult, but it wouldnt take long to drain the battery..
-
I guess we would actually have on/off working parking lights if we weren't stuck with full time headlights on. :||||
Police STs have a light switch so I'm guessing they would also have the capacity to turn the parking lights on and off. :think1
I'm sure someone with an ex police bike will be able to tell us if this is the case.
-
The police bikes dont have the ability to turn the headlight/parkers on-off the functions of the switch arent used. Except for the top switch which is strobes and siren on and second tone with the momentary switch.
-
As a matter of very minor interest, my V-Strom has a second "off" position that selects parking lights. Apparently it's a European requirement. It's the furthest anti-clockwise position.

Mine does. STrudel is a 2014 police build that was sold new on the civilian market. It has 3 headlight options on the right switch cluster. Off - parkers - all.

Yours may have been done by a previous owner Steve, its definitely not the norm..
-
This may help?
Google:- honda st1300 police headlight switch and look at images

You can buy a right hand switch assembly, but it's not particularly cheap... :think1

The 2 ST1300 Police bikes I have owned have had the same switches. Off - parkers - all.
This must be something specific to the ST1300 Police bikes.

I now need to look at a police wiring diagram.
