ing and traveling about 5 km (3
mi).
Instantaneous fuel consumption
Instantaneous fuel consumption can
be set to “km/L”, “L/100 km”, or
“MPG”.
 “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

km”, and “MPG”, push the “RE-
SET” button for one second.
 When traveling under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “– –.–” is displayed.Avera ge fuel consumption
Average fuel consumption can be set
to either “AVE – –.– km/L”, “AVE – –.–
L/100 km”, or “AVE – –.– MPG”.  “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

On setting: the shift light will
come on when the set engine
speed is reached. This setting
is selected when the indicator
light is lit continuously.
 Flash setting: the shift light
will flash when the set engine
speed is reached. This setting
is selected when the indicator
light flashes four times per se-
cond.

deactivated. This setting is
selected when the indicator
light flashes once every two
seconds.
2. Push the “MENU” switch to con- firm the selection. The control
mode changes to the shift light on

To set the shift light off r/min
The shift light can be set between 6000
r/min and 12000 r/min in increments of
200 r/min. Be sure to set the off r/min
to a higher engine speed than the on
r/min setting, otherwise the shift light
will not come on. 1. Push the “SELECT” switch up or down to select the desired engine
speed for deactivating the indica-
tor light.

Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power as needed until traction
is restored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
The “ ” indicator light comes on
when traction control has been turned
off.
The TCS display indicates the current
TCS setting. There are three settings.
TCS “OFF” : Turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1” : Minimizes traction control
system assist.

assist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP When the vehicle is turned on,
traction control is turned on and
set to “1” or “2” (whichever was
last selected).
 Turn the traction control system
off to help free the rear wheel if the
vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.NOTICE

TCS settings can be changed only
when the vehicle is stopped and the
throttle closed.
 Push the “TCS” button to change
between TCS settings “1” and “2”.
 Push the button for two seconds
to turn the traction control system
off.
 Push the button again to turn trac-
tion control back on (TCS will re-
turn to the previous setting).
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:  a wheel comes off the ground
while riding.
 excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.
 a wheel is rotated by external for-
ces with the vehicle power on
(such as when performing mainte-
nance). If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn the vehi- cle off.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle back on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be en-
abled.
