Engine Starter Switch - Victory 2012 Ness Signature Series Rider's Manual

Engine Starter Switch

The starter switch is located on the right handlebar. Use the
starter switch to start the engine, turn the headlights on and
operate in reverse (if equipped). The switch will operate only
when the engine stop/run switch is in the RUN position and
the transmission is in neutral (or the clutch is disengaged).
The reverse lever (if equipped) must also be disengaged.
Tip: If the reverse system fuse has blown, the starter switch will not
function even if the reverse lever is disengaged. Replace the
fuse. See page 89.
Read the engine starting procedures before starting the
engine. See page 49.
• Press the right side of the starter switch to engage the
starter motor.
• Tap the starter switch to turn the headlight on without start-
ing the engine.
• See page 55 for reverse operation.
Engine Stop/Run Switch
The engine stop/run switch is located on the right handlebar.
This switch completes or interrupts the ignition, starter and
fuel pump circuits. Use the engine stop/run switch to turn
the engine off quickly. Turn the key off after the engine
stops.
• Press the bottom of the switch (RUN) to complete the cir-
cuits and allow the engine to start and run.
• Press the top of the switch (STOP) to interrupt the cir-
cuits and stop the engine. The engine should not start or
