a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
an odometer and tripmeter display
a multi-function display
a self-diagnosis device
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT”, “RE-
SET” and “INFO” buttons.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all

tarily appear in order to test the
electrical circuit. The speedome-
ter, tachometer, fuel meter and
coolant temperature meter will
then perform a display check and
a welcome message will scroll
across the multi-function display.

within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.NOTICE

zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since

Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode and the various tripmeter modes
in the following order:
ODO (odometer) → TRIP 1 (tripmeter)
→ TRIP 2 (tripmeter) → ODO (odome-
ter)
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automaticallychange to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, pushing the “SELECT” but-
ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes
in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → F TRIP (fu-
el reserve tripmeter) → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP 1,
TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed. While
“TRIP 1, TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed,
push the “RESET” button for two sec-
onds. The fuel reserve tripmeter will re-
set automatically and disappear after
you have refueled and turned the key
to “OFF”.Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a fuel consumption display (aver-
age and instantaneous consump-
tion functions)
an average speed display (which
shows the average speed since
last set to zero)
a time tripmeter (which shows the
elapsed riding time since last set
to zero)
 an oil change indicator with an oil
service reminder (which shows the
riding distance since last set to ze-
