 a clock
 an outside air temperature display
 an odometer
 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an oil change tripmeter

 an oil change indicator
 a V-belt replacement indicatorTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
 For the UK only: To switch the

TIPIf the outside air temperature falls
below –10 °C, a lower temperature
than –10 °C will not be displayed.
 If the outside air temperature
climbs above 40 °C, a higher tem-
perature than 40 °C will not be dis-
played.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.Odometer an d tripmeter mo des Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the oil change
tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter mode
“BELT TRIP” in the following order:
ODO
 TRIP 1  TRIP 2  OIL TRIP
 BELT TRIP  ODO
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator will start flashing, and the display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In this case, pushing the
“SELECT” button switches the display
between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following or-
der:
F  TRIP 1  TRIP 2  OIL TRIP 
BELT TRIP  ODO  F
To reset tripmeters 1, 2, or the fuel re-
serve tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“SELECT” button, and then push the
“RESET” button for at least one sec-
ond. If you do not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset itself
automatically and the display will re-
turn to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
To reset the oil change tripmeter or V-
belt replacement tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “SELECT” button, and
then push the “RESET” button for
three to four seconds.

After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “OIL CHANGE” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for three seconds.
The oil change tripmeter will be reset
and the oil change indicator will go off.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time. V-
belt replacement in dicator “V-
BELT”
This indicator come on at every 20000
km (12500 mi) to indicate that the V-
belt should be replaced.
If the V-belt replacement indicator has
come on, after replacing the V-belt, re-
set the V-belt replacement indicator
and the V-belt replacement tripmeter.
To reset them both, select the V-belt
replacement tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “V-BELT” is flashing, push the
“RESET” button for three to four sec-
onds. The V-belt replacement tripme-
ter will be reset and the V-belt
replacement indicator will go off. If the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the next periodic V-belt replace-
ment to be indicated at the correct
time.

TIPEngine air filter and V-belt air filters
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more fre- quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Engine oil an d 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 en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle 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 engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil fill-
er hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level. WARNING! The muffler
an d muffler protector become
very hot d uring use. To avoi d
possi ble burns, let the muffler
an d protector cool b efore re-
movin g the oil filler cap.
[EWA17810]
TIPThe engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
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 chan
ge the en gine oil an d 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 engine oil drain bolts A and B
to drain the oil from the crankcase.
NOTICE: When removin g the
en gine oil drain bolt B, the O-
rin g, compression spring , and
oil strainer will fall out. Take
care not to lose these parts.

“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
