Buttons on fairing..

[cwhite123174]

I was "cruising" the forum last night and found a post about "secrets" of the RSV. I noticed one about a clock so of course I checked it out. I do have it BUT when I pushed the 2 buttons together, they stuck. Probably a common problem but what can I do so they function smoothly? What can I spray to help that?

I also saw a post about a little switch to shut off the daytime running lamps. Not a big interest for me but I thought I would look anyway and I don't see anything. Must have been for different years? Newer? I have a 2004 RSV Midnight.

I have never had the dash buttons stick. Not sure what would cause that. Perhaps spray a little contact cleaner in there.

 

As for the running light switch, it is normally a rubber boot next to the 12V outlet in the lower clutch side faring. It is a push button type switch.

 

Do you have the auxiliary lights installed on your bike?

Depends on how they were wired up. They may have put the switch somewhere else or wired without the switch.

 

The switch is there in case a State doesn't allow them to be on at certain times. I have mine wired so they are "always on" but with a switch (toggle) in the location (backside of the fairing beside the aux power plug).

Ahhh... It's OK. I will deal with not having it. With this being a Midnight I would have thought it was there but again, it doesn't matter to me. The more light from the front... The better in my opinion.

The passing lights on the original Royal Stars had a switch on one of the cans for the light, may you have some older ones some one installed, do the go on and off with the high beam / low beam of the head light. Many if not all factory set ups, turn the passing lights off when the high beams go on.

Ya know, I have not paid much attention honestly but that is a very valid point. I will check that when I get home this afternoon and post back. [emoji6]

I had purchased the factory passing lamps for my RSTD. Unlike the Venture factory lights the RSTD lights have a small toggle switch on one of the lamp housings. I don't see it in your picture but I am using my phone so it may be there and I just can't see it on the small screen.
