R1150 Adventure Green switch
Just got a 1150 Adventure and the dash board has a green switch.
I looked in the Owners Manual from BMW then in the "Advernture Supplement" and then in my Haynes manual. It is not mentioned.
It looks like a real part of BMW design as it has a black moulding around it.
It lies between the Speedo and the Rider Information Display.
It is a bottle green toggle switch.
What does it do?

I think it's the E&C emergency signal switch...
When you break down, you press it and a light beams into the sky, very much like the "Bat Signal".
Within 20 seconds a Hercules helicopter will touch down with a team of mechanics and a make up artist and have you back on your way.
Sorry, couldn't resist it.... i'll get my coat.

On/Off switch for espresso machine? For compressor to blow up GS-sex toy? To activate nitrous supercharger? Sorry don't know and should know better than to write such drivel, but TT started it. It's his fault . Maybe ask on ukgser or gsclubuk. I'm sure somebody over there knows.
An aside: I once went to a local BMW meeting and asked a GS rider 1. if he knew what all the buttons on his heavily-buttoned R1150GS-ADV dashboard did and 2. would his bike explode if he pressed all of them at the same time. I was very disappointed when he just looked at me and didn't reply...:confused1:

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
