Thanks, I am starting to get old, but not that old...��, which means I am right.....Can't find anything in the manual about fuses, so it may be the switch then...

Yes,the switch don't seem to work...the girl at the dealer even started it in gear with the stand down,it fell over,but fortunately just a tiny scratch on the black motor guard...... Could have been worse.... Seems this model is made in Thailand, but my VIN has an H in the middle ofbthe number, so the country code don't fit.(as far as I know)
I have been looking under the bike, but I guess the switch is hidden behind the stand....

I'm the first owner, the bike was only in the store for 2 months. And, I am sure the switch worked the first days, got it last Monday. But, when the shop said this bike did not come with this function, I startet doubting myself!
Would be helpful if somebody could post a photo of the location of the connector/wiring.

Agreed, it should be the dealers problem, but there are language problems...they don't speak to much English, mostly Thai.
The photo below is my sidestand, and it don't look as there is a switch there... maybe some on the forum can tell.
I will feel quite stupid insisting that there should be a switch...and, the Thai manual differs a bit, so..
I mentioned that the sales person managed to tip the bike over, and I got some small scratches on the black motor guard. Not a very big deal, but would be glad for some tip regarding what kind of paint I shold use to cover it up with, or should I leave it to some local guy? This is Thailand, I paid THB 150,,- to get a scooter tyre repaired a couple of weeks ago..(aprx. USD 5,-).

Thanks for clearing this up! I rented a scooter also, so I appearently must have mixed this up, as it's been 40 years + since I rode a manual bike....
Must say I'm very pleased with the purchase. The R3 did not "feel" right for me, the first impression sitting on the Honda made me go for it.. Guess I would want a CBR or one notch bigger in a year or so..
But, for now, it is the right bike, and beeing 62, I have no problems handling the weight. My wife feels comfortable with both the bike and my driving, big bonus!
Now I just have to find a shop with bigger sizes pants with pads around Phuket. Not so easy! Could not even find XL gloves in the shops we've been to...
