That would seem to be a leftover in the manual from the air-cooled
design, where the brake warning light was tied to the oil pressure
light as a bulb check.  In the waterboxers they tied it to the engine
starting circuit instead.

My '89 manual *still* gives totally wrong spec for taillight bulbs,
unchanged from the '84 manual.
