EAU11631
Speedometer unitThe speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a
tripmeter. The speedometer shows rid-
ing speed. The odometer shows the
total distance traveled. The tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last set to zero with the reset knob.
The tripmeter can be used to estimate
the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.
EAU11852
TachometerThe electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.NOTICE
