The functions of the motorcycle ignition switch may vary depending on brand and model, but the following are some common functions:
- Ignition: The most basic function is to start the motorcycle and transmit current to the ignition coil for ignition.
- Turn off: Turn off the ignition system, usually by turning the key or pressing the turn-off button.
- Power switch: This function allows you to control all the power systems of the motorcycle, including lights, instrument panels, and other electronic devices. It can be used to save battery power and ensure that the battery does not lose power after prolonged parking.
- Anti-theft device: Some ignition switches have an anti-theft function, which can prevent theft by locking the motorcycle’s ignition system. Usually, you need to enter a password or use a special remote control to unlock it.
- Starting assistance: Some ignition switches have additional starting assistance functions, such as electronic starting or manual starting assistance. Electronic starting usually requires a start button, while manual assisted starting requires you to step on the foot pedal or shake the wheels by hand.
- Night mode: Some ignition switches have night mode, which is easier to recognize and use under night or low light conditions.
- Light control: Some ignition switches have the function of controlling the front and rear lights, such as switching between low and high beams, or controlling the switch of the front headlights.
