3 Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “RESET/SELECT“ button
switches the display between the
odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-
meter “TRIP” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator
comes on (see page 3-2), the odome-
ter display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP
F” and start counting the distance trav-
eled from that point. In that case, push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT“ button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT” button, and
then push it again for at least three sec-
onds. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe display cannot be changed back

SET/SELECTŽ button.
Oil change indicator “OIL CHANGE”
This indicator comes on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 3000 km
(1800 mi) and every 3000 km (1800 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed. (See page 6-9)
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only two segments
are left near “E”, the fuel level warning
indicator comes on. Refuel as soon as
possible.

Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolts A
and B to drain the oil from the
crankcase. NOTICE: When re-
moving the engine oil drain bolt
B, the O-ring, compression
spring, and oil strainer will fall
out. Take care not to lose these
parts.

sion spring, O-ring and engine oil
drain bolt B.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.7. Install engine oil drain bolt A, and
then tighten both drain bolts to
their specified torques.8. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.

ters the crankcase.
9. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
