Speedometer unit
1. Speedomenter unit
2. Odometer
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 trip-
meter shows the distance traveled
since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the “TRIP” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter mode
“TRIP”. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down
the “TRIP” button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-mate the distance that can be trave-
led with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.
Setting the odometer/tripmeter
reading mode
The odometer and tripmeter can be
set to count in either miles or kilome-
ters according to the following proce-
dure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” while pres-
sing the reset button.
2. Release the reset button when
the display comes on.
3. The current mode appears in the
display: “CONT” (continental) for
the kilometer mode and “EnGL”
(English) for the mile mode.
4. Press the reset button to switch
the mode.
5. Press the reset button for two
seconds to confirm the setting.
NOTE:
The odometer/tripmeter reading
mode can be changed any num-
ber of times while the odometer
reading is below 10, but it cannot
be changed anymore after the
reading has reached 10.
Switching between the mile and
the kilometer mode does not
change or convert the current
odometer/tripmeter reading.

WARNING
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may
result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock
absorber assembly in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and the-
reby soften the suspension, turn the
adjusting ring on each shock absor-
ber assembly in direction (b).
NOTE:
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indica-
tor on the shock absorber.

The condition of a vehicle is the
owner’s responsibility. Vital compo-
nents can start to deteriorate quickly
and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle
remains unused (for example, as a
result of exposure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of
tire air pressure could have serious
consequences. Therefore, it is very
important, in addition to a thorough
visual inspection, to check the follo-
wing points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the vehicle is used.
Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the
added safety it assures is more than
worth the time involved.

WARNING
If any item in the Pre-operation
check list is not working properly,
