Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a
tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows the
total distance traveled. The tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last set to zero with the reset knob.
The tripmeter can be used to estimate
the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.

will self-cancel after the motorcycle has
traveled both about 150 m and for ap-
proximately 15 seconds. However, the
turn signal lights can also be canceled
manually by pushing the switch in after
it has returned to the center position.NOTE:@ The self-canceling system only oper-
ates when the motorcycle is moving, so
that the turn signal lights will not self-
cancel while you are stopped at an
intersection.@
