Does your 3rd gen Z1K have this switch?

I noticed this switch on the clutch side of the handle bar controls. It is on the front side opposite the blinker switch. Does anybody have this on their bike, and what does it do? This pic is not of my bike by the way. I can't make out what the lettering says. This might be a euro spec bike, but I know it is a Z1K from the pic.

its a passing light. push it to flash the lights when u go to pass someone or want them to pull into the slow lane out of ur way

Interesting. Do they actually move over? I need one of those for the freeways of SoCal!

[htech71]

My Australian spec bike has it. High beam flasher. I just use it when I need to use high beam for a short amount of time at night.

I had one of those on my Buell Lightning. The Lightning's lights were interesting in that one headlight would be on for low beam, and the other headlight would be on for high beam, but both would be on with the "pass" button held down. I re-wired it so both lights would be on when the high beam switch was flipped.

In the end, I find it just as easy to flip the high beam switch than to press and hold that silly pass button.

I guess the Japanese don't think we need to warn anybody in the States to pass...they know we just inform them that they have just been passed with our after market exhaust. I am glad that the US market did at least get a throttle switch thingy, I know dang well what that doo hicky is...I think? It's the thing that makes my gas gauge meter blink rapidly.

cage drivers figure it out when they hear my muzzy muffler screaming 10k rpms as i go by them & they see my tailight disappear into the distance.

my 2012 euro specs has pass light switch but no blinker.
