Quick shifter in dicator “QS” (if
equipped )
This indicator comes on when the
quick shifter is turned on.
EAU93730
Multi-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 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)
 a coolant temperature display (_ _
°C)
 an air temperature display (Air_ _
°C)
Use the “SEL” switch to change the
display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L or L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
TIP The fuel reserve tripmeter appears
only when you are low on fuel.
 Use the “RES” switch to change
the display in the reverse order.
EAU86890
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.
EAU89142
Tripmeters
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 hold the “RES” switch until it
is reset.TIPThe tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.
EAU89152
Fuel 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.

3 To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter,
change the display to the fuel reserve
tripmeter, and then hold the “RES”
switch until it is reset.
TIPIf 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).
EAU89181
Instantaneous fuel consumption
d
isplay
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, hold the “SEL”
switch 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.
TIPWhen traveling under 10 km/h (6 mi/h),

EAU87790
TIPThe instantaneous fuel consumption
function should be used for general
reference only. Do not use this figure to
estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled on the current tank of fuel.
EAU89192
Averag e fuel consumption d isplay
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,
hold the “SEL” switch until the mea-
surement 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.

Operation and important riding points
5-4
54. Once the motorcycle has
stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
The neutral 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.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel 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).
EAU17214
ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
