Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
a fuel meter
a clock

a display, speedometer, and ta-
chometer brightness control mode
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” before

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the select button switches the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO” and the tripmeter modes “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → ODO
When approximately 4.5 L (1.19 US
gal, 0.99 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the select button switch-
es the display between the various trip-
meter and odometer modes in the
following order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
WARNING
EWA10210
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may
result.Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring and rebound and compression
damping force adjusting knobs.
Spring preload
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Loosen the lock screw 1/2 turn
counterclockwise.2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
Use the special wrench in-
cluded in the owner’s tool kit
to make this adjustment.
The spring preload setting is
determined by measuring dis-
tance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The longer distance A is,
the higher the spring preload;
the shorter distance A is, the
lower the spring preload. With
each complete turn of the ad-
justing ring, distance A chang-
es by 1.5 mm (0.06 in).
Be sure to turn the adjusting
ring so that the lock screw is
facing outward.
