TIP
●For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
●If the engine overheats, see page

Speedometer unit
1. “TRIP” button/“RESET” button
2. Multi-function display
3. Speedometer
4. Red zone
The speedometer unit is equipped
with the following:
●a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
ECAS0010
NOTICE
Do not operate the scooter in the
speedometer red zone. Red zone:
120 km/h (75 mph) and above
●an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
●a tripmeter (which shows the dis-
tance 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 kilometers or
miles according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Turn the key to “ ” while pres-
sing the reset button.
2. Release the reset button when
the display comes on.
3. The current mode appears in the

1. Final transmission oil filler cap
5. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.

6. Refill with the specified amount
of the recommended final trans-
mission oil, and then install and
tighten the oil filler cap. WAR-
NING! Make sure that no
foreign material enters the final
transmission case. Make sure
that no oil gets on the tire or
wheel.
[EWA11311]
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20103
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the centers-
tand.
TIP
●The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
●Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
Recommended final transmission
oil:
