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 clockOdometer 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
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), 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-
