1. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding

Fuel gauge
1. Fuel gauge
2. Fuel level warning light
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the remaining fuel in
the tank reaches approximately 2 L (0.53
US gal) (0.44 Imp.gal), the fuel level war-
ning light will come on and the multi-
function display will automatically chan-
ge to the “Trip/fuel” mode. (See page
3-6). If this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIP
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.
EAU12172
Coolant temperature gauge
1. Coolant temperature gauge red zone
2. Coolant temperature gauge
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges in the weather and engine load. If
the needle reaches or enters the red
zone, stop the vehicle and let the
engine cool. (See page 6-34).
