BC
The brake control system has two set-
tings, BC1 and BC2. Select BC1 when
only standard ABS is desired. Select
BC2 to have the brake control system
further regulate brake pressure while
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions, the
BC2 brake system may engage sooner
than expected relative to your desired
cornering speed or intended cornering
line.
Quick shifterThe quick shifter indicators are divided
into QS and QS sections. QS
and QS are not linked and can be in-
dependently turned on or off.
The quick shifter can be set to ON or
OFF.
OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch
lever must then be used when shifting
in that direction.TIPIf the quick shifter setting cannot be
changed: turn the engine off with the
gear position set to neutral, then
change the setting.
“Shift In
dicator”
This module allows a custom shift indi-
cator to be set. When the engine r/min
(rotations per minute) are in the speci-
fied range, the gear indicator will flash.
This module has 3 options:
“IND Mode” - the shift indicator can be
turned ON/OFF
“IND Start” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator starts flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Start” is settable between 6000 -
12800 r/min.
“IND Stop” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator stops flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
km/h

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or d eath. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or g et some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
