3 Instantaneous fuel consumption
meter
This meter shows the instantaneous
fuel consumption.
Depending on the display setting se-
lected for the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode “F/ECO”, the
displayed segments increase or de-
crease.
 km/L and MPG (for the UK): The
number of segments displayed in-
creases the more efficiently the
vehicle is being operated.
 L/100 km: The number of seg-
ments displayed decreases the
more efficiently the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
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 set to zero)
 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
 an oil change tripmeter
 a V-belt replacement tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
 a V-belt replacement indicator
Except for the UK:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2”, oil change tripmeter
mode “OIL TRIP”, V-belt replacement
tripmeter mode “V-BELT TRIP”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption mode
“F/ECO” (km/L or L/100 km), and aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE
F/ECO” (km/L or L/100 km) in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ V-BELT TRIP → F/ECO → AVE
F/ECO → ODO
For the UK:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2”, oil change tripmeter
mode “OIL TRIP”, V-belt replacement
tripmeter mode “V-BELT TRIP”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption mode

lowing order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ V-BELT TRIP → F/ECO → AVE
F/ECO → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator “ ”
and last segment of the fuel meter start
flashing, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the “SELECT” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter, odometer, oil change
tripmeter, V-belt replacement tripme-
ter, instantaneous fuel consumption
and average fuel consumption modes
in the following order:
TRIP F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ V-BELT TRIP → F/ECO → AVE
F/ECO → ODO → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second.
TIP
 If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it resets itself
automatically and the display re-
turns to the prior mode after refu-
eling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
 If you do not reset tripmeters 1
and 2, they will reset to 0 and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 has
been reached. 
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
mo de
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, and either “MPG” or
“L/100 km” (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”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 lmp. gal of the fuel
under the current riding conditions
is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption display settings,
push the “SELECT” button for one sec-
ond.
TIP
 If traveling at speeds under 10
km/h (6 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
 When MPG is selected, no units
indicator will be displayed.

V-
belt replacement tripmeter mo de
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last reset (i.e., since the last V-belt
replacement).
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT” will flash at every 18000 km
(10500 mi) thereafter to indicate that
the V-belt should be replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement tripmeter and the V-
belt replacement indicator. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“RESET” button for one second. Then,
while “V-BELT” and the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter are flashing, push the
“RESET” button for three seconds. The
V-belt replacement indicator will be re-
set.
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 filter
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated pa- per 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 element needs 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 reser-
voirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl- inders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
