What lights should be on in 'P' Switch position?

(1/1)

scrubs:
My 1974 CB750 just failed its MOT numerous reasons, nothing happened when the right hand switch gear was set
to the 'P' position. I am under the assumption and as far as I'm aware it is a UK bike not US import,
should I have a seperate little parking light bulb in the headlight shell that turns on with the rear light
when set to 'P'?

I posted this question over on the US site http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=72708.0
Got a mixed response - but don't really have a clear idea yet, so thought I'd check here too.

SteveD CB500K0:
Yes.

To pass the MOT, all fitted lights must work.

The P position is for "park" and should light the little (5W?) bulb in the headlamp as well as the rear light.

scrubs:
Thanks for clearing that up Steve, Just need to check the lamp I have has the hole for the small 5w bulb now.....
hopefully will be on the road again soon, the other fails were tiny just some loose bits that I didn't tighten properly
in a hurry..

scrubs:
oh by the way.. If someone has a right hand switch gear for sale or knows where I can get one for this model,
please let me know.  ;)
