BTW The bike does has some fancy gadgetry... I am told that the bike turns to pilot lamps under 3kmph. once your exceed that, the DRL kicks in!

I was talking to my good friend who runs a PBK service outlet - who in turn got the mechanic trained for KTM at Pune.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
He confirmed two things
1) No DRL - Lights have to be switched on.
2) Headlamp (not pilot lamps) would switch on when riding with the engine off, would kick in when the bike is crosses 3 kmph in the dark.
(Pardon me if I comprehended incorrectly)
Edit: When the bike arrived at the PBK showroom, people went crazy and started revving the bike. Amongst all the euphoria - I noticed the engine warning lamp (an orange triangle with an exclamation mark in it) was lit - I asked the showroom guy - why is the warning lamp on - he just shrugged. I then asked the mechanic at Auto service - he said - if the engine is revved madly without letting it warm up - the warning lamp comes on.
I am only narrating what I have heard.

So no DRL,
but with the Bike switched on, and it being pushed the light turns on?Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

I wonder whats the idea for that...? Push starts? Downslope riding? Am assuming the light dies the moment it goes under 3kmph!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

Just wondering what will be the case if ignition is turned ON, engine is not running and bike is stand-still. Will one be able to turn ON the headlamp..??Originality is the art of hiding your sources...Comment

If i remember correctly, the head lamp can be turned on with the engine not running, also the engine automatically cuts off if one tries to ride with the side stand on!.Originally posted by Rahul.Gvli View PostWhen life gives you Yamaha, make it RD350 not R15. :DComment

Guess not. Amidst the din, I tried that, the bike was switched off, the ignition was on, on position - I flicked the headlamp switch, the light didn't turn on (or probably someone switched it off, by the time I bent over to look at the H/L)Originally posted by Rahul.Gvli View Post

You might have missed the kill switch position thereOriginally posted by Shubz View PostGuess not.

There was too much commotion, understandably. Everybody were keen to touch it, feel it, rev it - to the extent that the engine had tears in its eyes (in the form of warning lamp ON)Originally posted by Abhishek2255 View PostSir actually about the headlamp i can't remember ,
