On-board computer
Average road speed
L Note:
The reading is in km/h or mph,
depending on national-market
version.
Stops with the engine switched
off are ignored.
Average speed is always calcu-
lated over the time since the
last “RESET” triggered by
means of the handlebar-mount-
ed switch.
Residual range
L Note:
Reading in km or miles, de-
pending on national-market
version.
The range is estimated on the
basis of style of riding and tak-
ing the remaining supply of fuel
into account.
Note that the range cannot be
shown accurately if the motor-
cycle was placed on its side
stand. The reading is corrected
during the journey.
The display shows residual
range in km or miles.
Also observe the reading of the
fuel-level gauge and the warn-
ing light for reserve fuel level
(
b10, 11).
The on-board computer regis-
ters that you have refuelled
when approx. 3 litres
(5.3 Imp.pints) have been add-
ed.

Ambient temperature
L Note:
Reading in °C or °F, depending
on national-market version.
Ice warning
If ambient temperature drops
below +3 °C, the on-board
computer automatically
switches to temperature-dis-
play mode and ice warning
symbol 1 flashes on the display.
d Warning:
The ice warning does not
mean that there is no risk of
black ice forming at meas-
ured temperatures above
3°C.
Always take extra care and
think well ahead when tem-
peratures are low; remember
that the danger of black ice is
particularly high on bridges
and where the road is in the
shade.

Riding, gear shifts
Engine speedChoose engine speeds in
accordance with the coolant
temperature reading, and do
not use maximum engine
speeds until the engine has
reached its regular operating
temperature.
When the revolution counter
needle enters the red zone on
the dial, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted in order to protect the
engine against overspeeding,
as you will notice because the
engine “stutters”.
d Warning:
Never run the engine with the
needle of the revolution coun-
ter in the red zone.
Load changes
d Warning:
Try not to open or close the
throttle abruptly, particularly
on wet or slippery roads.
Gear shifts
L Note:
Never slip the clutch exces-
sively when changing gear.
Vary your speed only by using
the throttle in a suitable gear,
not by slipping the clutch.
The digital cockpit display
shows which gear has been se-
lected (
b10).
