2022 Kawasaki KLX300/KLX300SM Ignition Switch/Steering Lock
lgnition Switch/Steering Lock
This is a three-position, key-operated switch. The key can be removed when it is in the “OFF” or “LOCK” position.
For Locking
- Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
- Push the key down in the “OFF” position and turn it to “LOCK.”
WARNING
Turning the ignition switch to the “OFF” position while riding the motorcycle shuts down the entire electrical system (headlight, brake light, turn signal light, etc.) and the engine will stop, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death. Never operate the ignition switch while riding the motorcycle; only operate it when the motorcycle is at a standstill.
NOTE
The headlight and tail light are on whenever the ignition key is in the “ON” position. To avoid the battery discharge, always start the engine shortly after turning on the ignition switch.
