Could anyone identify the red light on the speed on my 1986 1200i (see attachment),it is not shown in my owners manual. Yesterday I took her for a good long trip- 400km and generally she went great but towords the end this light started flickering, I had not noticed it before. I also discovered that while the speedo is in miles, the trip and odo meters are in kilometers. I knew that the bike had been imported in the late 90's, from the US i thought, but maybe not. Is there any way of telling where she originated. :gunhead:

That would be a Canadian Import, they had the odo in KM. I'm not sure about the light as I own an 1100 (I thought it might be the overdrive/5th gear light but I'm not sure), one of the 1200 owners will help with that.

Almost looks like a fuel light.

I have an 85A with digital dash. Mine doesn't have a reserve on the gas shutoff, but does have a low fuel light. Have you added gas since the light came on?

Interesting... Probably a road demon detector, they tend to accumulate toward the latter part of a ride. Actually my parts manual for the 86 1200I doesn't show any light or wiring in the speedometer.Possiblyan added on fuel warning light or maybe some anti-theft system?

My Int. doesn't have that lite. I wonder if it's a low voltage monitor, kinda like a Heads-up

Mine doesn't have this light either. I'm very curious now, as it certainly looks OEM.

My 86 Interstate has no such light in the speedo-housing... Sorry :gunhead:

I have an 82 GL1100, it has a red light on the lower left speed gauge for air suspension.

Hey RevsGL1100

My Bad, I got home and walked into my dining room where my wing is (I'm single and it's a clean dry place to work on it. lol) The red light I was looking at was on the tach. Mine doesn't have a light on the speedo.

Thanks for the Welcome Redwing. I've been sandbagging a little while and getting great tips off Steve page for a while now. Finally had to register and put my 28cents worth in.
