traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning indicator came on.
The oil change tripmeter shows the dis-
tance traveled since the last engine oil
change.
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
last V-belt replacement.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer
mode and the tripmeter modes in the
following order:
Odo
 Trip 1  Trip 2  V-Belt Trip 
Oil Trip  Odo
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “Trip F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
Odo  Trip 1  Trip 2  Trip F 
V-Belt Trip  Oil Trip  Odo
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip F”,
“Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed. While
“Trip F”, “Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed,
push the “SELECT” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be switched to “Trip
F” after the fuel reserve tripmeter has

been reset.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level reaches
the bottom segment near “E”, the fuel
level warning indicator, “F”, “E”, and the
bottom segment will flash. Refuel as
soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment, “H”, “C”, and
coolant temperature warning indicator
flash, stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool. (See page 7-37.)NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “Oil”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 mi)
and every 5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. To reset the oil
change indicator, select it by pushing
the “SELECT” button until “Oil Trip” is
displayed, and then push the “SE-
LECT” button at least one second.
When pushing the “SELECT” button,
“Oil Trip” starts flashing. While “Oil Trip”
is flashing, push the “SELECT” button
again for at least three seconds.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator “Oil” flashes (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator “Oil”
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.

TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters This model’s engine air fi lter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper
element, which must not be cleaned wi th compressed air to avoid damaging
it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter el- ements need to be serviced more frequently 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 cylin-
ders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

cables Lubricate.

Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
EAU1985E
Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine 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 two minutes, and then turn it off.
NOTICE
ECA11291
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Spark plug gap
Spark plug gap:0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
Tightening torque: Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)
