
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.

Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.

Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).

Secure the motorcycle with
tie-downs or suitable straps that
are attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-mount-
ed handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

mode
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”, “L/
100 km” or “MPG” (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” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal
of fuel under the current riding con-
ditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous fuel consumption display settings, push
the “SELECT” button for one second.
