HA! On my 1974 900 Z1, I have a "parking light" feature.
I turn the key all the way to the right side and can remove it, and it turns on only the tail light:P

1974 900 Z1 modified to look like a LTD , some engine mods. But I still have all the original parts.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

My 650-CSR does that too!

Do any other manufacturers have the parking light feature (back in the 1970's)? Every KZ does, and it seems to mystify people. I always thought all bikes had it, but by the reactions of non-kz owners, maybe not.

4 way hazard lights & a parking light seem normal to me.
The neutral light is something that others find unusual. Is this unique to Kawasakis?

I believe every bike has a neutral indicator light of some type.

hazard lights... I dont think I understand. I thought those were the party lights. Like when you go through the parkinglot setting off alarms to get the disco light affect going at the bonfire....

No, Just kidding, Whom i to talk, I dont have hazard lights, turn signals, horns or much of anything safty concerned.... Got a new throtle cable though....

After reading this, I tried my "PARKING LIGHT". I turn the key all the way right to the P, and nothing happens. I can jiggle the key out, but still nothing happens. No tail light, no disco ball, nothing.
