Viewed from the front of the bike (i.e. not how the rider would see it).

Annunciator
Love the "Engine Working Wrong" Setting. Does that shut everything down in a way that "Stop" doesn't? I'm guessing so.

Interesting that the clutch and brake are the same pedal.

FPA-4 Engine Controls
"The control stand on CN 6789."
Trash Truck 31740
Controls on the outside of the vehicle, capable of being used while wearing gloves. I wonder why the levers instead of just buttons? Is there some kind of finesse with the crushing?

Wow, what a funky variation. The knobs (levers?) are under the housing and labels.
