Horn Question:

pieman42 · Jun 30, 2019

Hi all,

R1200RT LC 2016.

Question:
does the horn switch (and hence the horn!) still work for a certain period of time after the ignition has been turned off?

There is method in my madness for this question........honestly!!

Cheers

Mine doesn't work with the ignition off.

Its on the switched live circuit, so will go off with the ignition.

If you had a canbus plugin thingy (Hexecan) you may be able to program it onto a configurable live feed - but i may be wrong

Whats the madness that needs a method ?

Its just I was trying to get a sequence of events, for an insurance claim, right in my head before I put it down on paper.
I got knocked off my bike, and remember sounding the horn just prior, but it all happened so quick I just couldn't remember if the engine and /or the ignition was off at that exact moment of impact.
Bikes been taken away for repair so I couldn't check.

Thanks everyone who replied!!! Much appreciated.

If the ignition was off you would be coasting then

Thats a breach of highway code rule 122
