Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a
tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows the

was last set to zero with the reset but-
ton. The tripmeter can be used to esti-
mate the distance that can be traveled
with a full tank of fuel. This information
will enable you to plan future fuel stops.
