Default What is this thing on my radiator hose?
It's a button like I have on the handle bars for the headlights but it's installed into the radiator hose. It's a 2012 ec 250 I recently bought.

I should do that. I'm really bad about accidentally bumping mine, putting it in rain mode, and then wonder where my power went!

What does it do? Should I have the big button pushed in or out?

Big button is full power and small button is reduced power for slick and muddy conditions.

Default Switch
When I bought my 2011 it came with the switch attached to the rad hose like that. I just moved mine to the bars.

Were the switches stock mounted on the hose? I figured they moved mine because there isn?t enough room with flexx bars

Yes, mine came from the dealer like that. Maybe during shipping they wanted to protect it from loss or damage?
