MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY
COLD STARTER KNOB
When cold, the engine requires a
richer air-fuel mixture for starting. A
separate starter circuit, which is con-
trolled by the cold starter knob "1",
supplies this mixture. Pull the cold
starter knob out to open the circuit for
starting. When the engine has
warmed up, push it in to close the cir-
cuit.
HOT STARTER LEVER
The hot starter lever "1" is used when
starting a warm engine. Use the hot
starter lever when starting the engine
again immediately after it was
stopped (the engine is still warm).
Pulling the hot starter lever injects
secondary air to thin the air-fuel mix-
ture temporarily, allowing the engine
to be started more easily.
SIDESTAND
This sidestand "1" is used to support
only the machine when standing or
transporting it.
• Never apply additional force to the sidestand.
• Hold up the sidestand before
starting out.
MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY
Be sure to stop the machine before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display.
The multi-function display is
equipped with the following:
BASIC MODE:

•Clock
• Two tripmeters (which shows the distance that has been traveled
since it was last set to zero)
RACE MODE:
• Timer (which shows the time that has been accumulated since the
start of timer measurement)
• Tripmeter (which shows the accu- mulated travel distance in timer
measurement)
• Change tripmeter digits (capable of change to any given ones)

for 2 seconds or more.
If reset, and travel distance dis-
play will go on flashing for four sec-
onds.
Resetting tripmeter A (TRIP A) and
timer
1. Check that the timer is not in op-
eration. If the timer is in operation,
stop it by pushing the "SLCT1"
button and "SLCT2" button at the
same time.
2. Reset all measured data by push- ing the "RST" button for 2 sec-
onds or more.
• Resetting will reset the timer display and travel distance display and put
measurement on standby.
• Auto start attempt will put measure- ment on standby as such. Likewise,
manual start attempt will put mea-
surement on standby as such.
Correcting tripmeter A (TRIP A)
1. Change the travel distance dis- play by pushing the "SLCT1" but-
ton (plus) or "SLCT2" button
(minus). A long push on the but-
ton will fast-forward the change.
Change can be made any time while
timer measurement is or is not being
made.
