Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
the following:l
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
l
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
l
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
l
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
l
a clock
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
ODO
® TRIP 1
® TRIP 2
® ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
TRIP F
® TRIP 1
® TRIP 2
® ODO
®

return to “TRIP 1” after refueling and
traveling 5 km.
NOTE:@ After resetting the fuel reserve tripme-
ter, the display will return to “TRIP 1”,
unless a different mode had been pre-
viously selected; in that case, the dis-
play automatically returns to the prior
mode. @Clock mode
