12 Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

an odometer

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last reset)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)

an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display

an average fuel consumption dis-
play

a coolant temperature display

an air intake temperature display

self-diagnosis mode (MT09)

a brightness control display
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.

The tripmeters will lock at 9999.9but can be manually reset.
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the instantaneous
fuel consumption mode “km/L” or “L/
100 km”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._ L/
100 km”, coolant temperature mode
“  C”, air intake temperature mode “Air_
_ C”, odometer mode “ODO”, and trip-
meter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in
the following order:
km/L or L/100 km  AVE_ _._ km/L or
AVE_ _._ L/100 km   C  Air_ _ C
 ODO  TRIP 1  TRIP 2
For the UK:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the instantaneous
fuel consumption mode “km/L”, “L/100
km” or “MPG”, average fuel consump-
tion mode “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”, coolant
temperature mode “
C”, air intake tem-
perature mode “Air_ _ C”, odometer
mode “ODO”, and tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
km/L, L/100 km or MPG  AVE_ _._
km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG  C  Air_ _ C  ODO 
TRIP 1  TRIP 2
TIP
Push the “RESET” button to switch
the display in the reverse order.

The fuel reserve tripmeter and
self-diagnosis modes come on au-tomatically.
If the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing (“ ” wi ll also flash for
MT09), the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In this
case, push the “SELECT” button to
switch the display in the following order:
F-TRIP  km/L or L/100 km  AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km   C

TIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “SELECT” button, and
then push the “RESET” button for
one second.

If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it resets auto-
matically and disappears after re-fueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Instantaneous fuel consumption
mode
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”, “L/
100 km” or “MPG” (for the UK).

“km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.

“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.

“MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal
of fuel under the current riding con-
ditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous fuel consumption display settings, push
the “SELECT” button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h (12mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Average fuel consumption mode
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”,
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.

“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.

“AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK): The
average distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption display settings, push the
“SELECT” button for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “RESET” button for one sec-
ond.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until thevehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi). Coolant temperature mode
This display shows the coolant temper-
ature from 40 
C to 116 C in 1 C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-45.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40  C, “LO” will be dis-
played.

The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather andengine load. Air intake temperature mode
The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case.
This display shows the air intake tem-
perature from –9 
C to 99 C in 1  C in-
crements.
TIP
–9 C will be displayed even if the
air intake temperature falls below
–9 C.

The air intake temperature may
vary from the ambient tempera-ture.

12 clutch lever in, use the brakes to
slow the motorcycle, and continue
to downshift as necessary.
4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be shifted
into the neutral position. The neu-
tral indicator light should come on
and then the clutch lever can be
released.
WARNING
EWA17380

Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.

Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-age.
EAU64150
Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during
acceleration and deceleration are
shown in the table below.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
Shift up points:1st  2nd: 20 km/h (12 mph)
2nd  3rd: 30 km/h (19 mph)
3rd  4th: 40 km/h (25 mph)
4th  5th: 50 km/h (31 mph)
5th  6th: 60 km/h (37 mph)
Shift down points:
6th  5th: 45 km/h (28 mph)
5th  4th: 35 km/h (22 mph)
4th  3rd: 25 km/h (16 mph)
