EAU87580Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer (ODO)
two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
an oil change tripmeter (OIL TRIP)
an oil change indicator
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _._ MPG)
Push the “SELECT” button to change
the display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L, L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG → OIL TRIP → ODO
TIP
The fuel reserve tripmeter appears only
when you are low on fuel.
EAU86890Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.
EAU88050Tripmeters
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, change the dis-
play to the tripmeter you want to reset,
and then push the “RESET” button un-
til it is reset.
TIP
The tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.
EAU87600Fuel reserve tripmeter
If the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point.
To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter,
push the “RESET” button until it is re-
set.
TIP
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally and disappear from the display
after refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

EAU87680Oil change tripmeter
This tripmeter shows the distance trav-
eled since the last engine oil change.
The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), the next
4000 km (2500 mi), and then every
5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter.
To reset the oil change tripmeter and
oil change indicator, select the oil
change tripmeter, and then push the
“RESET” button until “OIL” and the
tripmeter start flashing. While “OIL”
and the tripmeter are flashing, push the
“RESET” button until the tripmeter is
reset.
TIP
When the engine oil has been
changed, the oil change tripmeter and
the oil change indicator must be reset.
Otherwise, the oil change indicator will
not come on at the correct time.
EAU87771Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
This display shows the fuel consump-
tion under the current riding condi-
tions. It can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, or “MPG” when using
miles. To switch the fuel consumption
measurement units, push the “SE-
LECT” button until the measurement
units change.
“km/L”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
“L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km.
“MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIP
When traveling under 10 km/h (6 mi/h),

EAU87860Average fuel consumption display
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” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, or “AVE_ _._
MPG” when using miles. To switch the
fuel consumption measurement units,
push the “SELECT” button until the
measurement units change.
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: the average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: the average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.
“AVE_ _._ MPG”: the average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0
Imp.gal of fuel.
TIP
To reset the display, push the
“RESET” button until it resets.
After resetting, “_ _._” is shown
until the vehicle has traveled some
distance.
EAU87960Shift indicator light control mode
This mode cycles through 4 control
functions in the order listed below.
Shift indicator light on / flash / off
Shift indicator light on r/min
Shift indicator light off r/min
Shift indicator light brightness
To set the shift indicator light on / flash
/ off

EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
