Title: Easy question
Post by mornhm on 05/17/05 at 11:00:48

:-[ :-[

I've misplaced my MOM and am trying to remember what the yellow button on the left handlebar does. Labeled "PASS."

Haven't needed it to date, but I would like to know what it does.

Yours is a S40?  That should be for flashing your headlight for passing.

Of course, it could be a button for ejecting your passenger too  8)

Thanks

No, it is a 2004 Savage, but I think the only differences (besides the name) between '04 and '05 are cosmetic.

Well, not sure exactly when they added that button, but it has been since '03 so that works.

The next step would be to push the button and find out.

Might be the NoS Button. ???
1st
Put a passenger on back, (equipped w/ optional Suzuki Savage passenger rollerblades) then run it up to top speed and then push the button.

a. If the bike accelerates and the passenger falls off the back, then it is the Nitrous Oxide button for passing bigger bikes,
b. however if acceleration occurs from the passeger being ejected upward then it must be the Jethro-Bodine double-nought- spy pregnant dog seat. (a rare option).

Yep, that's for passing.  Flashes the highbeam.

The salesman at the dealership where I bought my bike suggested I use that button if I'm at a red light in an intersection and the light turns green, to warn oncoming drivers that I'm there and coming through.  Trouble is, at least around where I live, if you flash the highbeam at someone, they take it to mean you're letting them go.  Quick and easy way to get yourself killed -- so I wouldn't recommend using it in intersections.

To get the same effect without giving the opinion that you're letting "them" go, get a headlight modulator for your bike....it will flash continuously then.

And if you're Saddam, you can be caught flashing even from inside the jail  ;D

Good news, I found my owner's manual.

It turns out the yellow button is indeed the little used passenger ejection option. ;D Only available in '04 during certain months.  ;)

Mine's a 2000 so I had to make mine a solo instead.

That's a handy feature.  I have to use the manual method.

And without ever using that button, you'd never think you needed it  ::)
