What did you do today?

[Hooli]

Also found my Honda NC750 has the most useless hazard warning lights. What the point of them when they only work with the ignition on? Fucking hopeless- what the point of that?

Anyone know if I can wire them up to continue flashing with the ignition off?

Might be a case of RTFM?

That's what I was gonna say. It's the same on my HD, ignition on to turn them on but then they say on with the ignition off. Needs ignition on to turn them off again as I found out hitting the wrong switch not long after I got it.

As someone who knows very little about bikes (aka deathtraps), what's a torque control switch and why would you need to control torque?

Rider modes I'd suspect. Adjusts the max power n sensitivity of the throttle.

You don't need it, it's a pointless gimmick.

Didn't the M5 with a V10 have something similar?

Obviously not needed by driving/riding gods.

Rings a bell. Reduced the 501bhp to 500bhp I think?

[LynehamHerc]

500 to 400 if I remember correctly.

Thanks, but no. Mine is the 2023 EU (NC750X AP) model with the indicators that are always on as sidelights/running lights (fucking stupid American thing). As soon as ignition is off, so are the hazards.

Which moron at Honda thought that a good idea?

No. As Hooli says, the conditional switching is the similar so maybe that's the new way(s) of doing things. (Which then sounds like you have a fault rather than a design issue). I'll see if the big manual says owt.

[Eddie Honda]

Either that or it's an ECU twiddle that's needed. NEW-FANGLED TOSH

Manual says the hazards will only work with the ignition switched on. Which means that the headlight and tail light light are also on.

I don't want to find out how long the battery will last whilst stuck on the hard shoulder of a motorway at 1 am with something that makes the bike immobile.

[Hooli]

Try switching them on then turning the ignition off.

I suspect it's done that way to stop people fiddling and leaving you with a flat battery
