Just been into local town at lunchtime, and there was a Burger 400 in the bikepark (its a pretty rare sight to see anything in the bike spaces round here). However, somehow the guy had managed to park the scoot up, but leave the lights on and the right indicator flashing, despite apparently removing the key from the ignition! How did he manage that?
I hope he comes back to it quickly as he won't have much battery left before long!

Re: Curious sight
I saw a curious thing on Friday, a burger 650 parked right next to my Maj. Very rarely see maxi scoots in Donny. Lots of buzzy buz buzzes though!

Re: Curious sight
It is his parking light
He probably put it on by mistake when he put his stearing lock on
The b400 has a steering lock on the ignition key (push in, click to left, take key out).
It also has a parking light that comes on if you release the key in the steering lock position and turn it to the left.
If the lights are on the indicators will also be live.
If you put the lock on and then wiggle the key as you remove it you can accidentally put the lights on - also if you keep a left pressure on the key as if holding it against the "off" detent (which is the way I did it until I got out of the habit)
It is find as long as you pull the key straight out.

Re: Curious sight
Now you mention it, I've done something similar on the Tmax. Though the sight of the lights AND indicator going was quite surprising!
