Estimated range
L Note:
Reading in km or miles,
depending on national market.
The range is estimated on the
basis of style of riding and ta-
king the remaining supply of fuel
into account.
Note that the range cannot be
shown accurately if the motor-
cycle was placed on the side
stand. The display is corrected
during the journey.
If three dashes appear on the
display, your range has drop-
ped below 15 km (9.5 miles).
It is high time to refuel!
It is also important to observe
the fuel gauge/warning light for
fuel level (
b 8, 11).
The on-board computer regis-
ters that you have refuelled
when approximately 3 litres
(0.66 Imp. gal) have been
added.
