Welcome.... put your flame suit on.!



Your lights will stay on 24 - 7! I would suggest that you keep the high-beams on 24 - 7:thumbup

hey bud, get ready cuz it's "game on" now :chair:

yes, you're light will be on anytime the bike is running.

no, i would not advise running high beams 24/7, you will be blinding others at night rather than them seeing you.

get some full gear and take it easy on that bike. there is way more power & speed there than anybody NEEDS on the street. in other words, don't kill yourself bud. :crash you'll never outride this bike so don't even try.
