handlebar buttons

[Invader Jim]

Got a new 2011 yesterday. Was looking at the OM and there is a button not mentioned. What is the little oval button on the left handlebar for? It is just right of the bright/dimmer switch? It is not labeled in any way I can see.

What ever you do,do not push that button. It is a call button for CC,Rook,and Jaspansel.

Not a button. Just a tip, there is a search button and it is quite accurate if you use it correctly. Some people have taken that and turned it into a garage door opener. Right now, it is nothing but a plug. Yamaha most likely uses the same control housing for another bike that may use it....I believe the FZ6 has hazard light switch there? I don't remember.

Oh, and btw. :welcome:

Its a placeholder for an emergency signal.

You only get one push haha. Push it once and it will never come back out

Only use it when you absolutely, positively HAVE to!

I was just thinking about that the other day. If our bike had a hazard light and I was pressing that thing. I thought itwas stuck so I got a hammer and nail do see if it would depress.:justkidding:

disconnect them! At least the proper fitting button is already there for you!

I converted the fake button into a real button. Cut it into two pieces, filled the backside piece with JB Weld, drilled a hole through it, threaded a cheap radio shack button through it, then drilled out the back side of the "button" looking part so that it fit onto the radio shack button.

I have it setup to plug into the push-to-talk port of a Chatterbox.

Now guys....don't be attaching grenade or rocket launchers onto your motorcycle.....

My buddy attached cardboard tubes to his RC sailplane stuffed some bottle rockets into them and hooked the fuses to a delayed ignition system via a cigarette. He launched it and flew it back and forth across the hill where the wind made updrafts until he saw smoke when the fuses lit. He strafed the beach with the airplane and launched rockets at the people laying on the sand.
He got a pretty big ticket too......
