    Default 2024 Spyder handlebar controls - Headlight switch is missing?!

    Hi

    Great forum - this is my first post!

    Has anyone noticed that the headlight switch is missing from the left controls on the 2024 models, and I couldn't see it on the right controls either?

    Deanna,

    I don't see it there. There are controls for volume up/down and track forward/back, but I can't see the headlight dip/main?

    I’d say he is referring to the 3 way HighBeam/flash/Lowbeam switch, Deanna.

    I just guessing. But I think it might be the button on backside of the left control. Used to be called push to talk maybe. In one video There was writing at that switch. Maybe high. push to flash., low. Just guessing. NEver seen writing on the back beside that button. There isnt a manual out on brp site for the 24's latest one on the page in for 23's. And the little control pad on the tank is gone now too. at least on the F3. I could be wrong on all this except on the control pad on tank.

    In other countries such as Great Britain, dip means low beam. Main would be high beam.

    What it looks like to me, the switch is on the left side in the back top. See photo of 2024 s2s below. it's hard to see.

    Well spotted. This looks like a better place than the current one.

    Chief, did you actually watch this video before offering it as a solution to the headlight switch question? I just watched it again because I figured I must have missed the headlight switch in my first viewing. It is NOT in this video and I have just wasted 10 minutes of my life. I have posted this to hopefully prevent others from also wasting their time. Not happy

    Here is a pic of the left side. I don't see it. And of course the only operator manual for 2024 is for the Ryker.

    Agreed. The lever type switch on the front of the module is the normal place for the highbeam/flash switch.

    Looks like the headlight button is this one. (Shown in images below). The earlier models used a similar button for CB PTT then it became the BRP Connect dash switch button and now I think it’s the headlight as the dash control buttons are all on the front of the cluster.

    Shame they didn't backlight the indicators. Easy to hit the horn button at night.

    The headlight switch is on the top of the left control almost on the back of the control. I just picked up the 2024 and it is there.
