you press it for 30 extra horspower. when your pass is complete, get off the button as you only get 2 miles per gallon when its engaged

In Europe and other jurisdictions you are required to flick your headlight when you're about to pass another vehicle at night.

I agree, and never hit it below 5k, bad things can happen.

I had a pair of HD riders ask what the PASS switch was for, they were disappointed when I told them it only flashed the high beam. They were hoping to hear it did what bonnieblackinfla's does...
