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

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.
