and:
 push up on the traction control
system switch to decrease trac-
tion control (6 →5→ 4→ 3→ 2→ 1).
 push down on the traction control
system switch to increase traction
control (1 →2→ 3→ 4→ 5→ 6).TIPThe traction control system settings
can also be changed when moving in

in 4th, 5th, or 6th gear.
WARNING
EWA18940
Take extra precaution when chan g-
in g mo des while rid ing.Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:  the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.
 either wheel is rotated with the
main switch turned on (such as
when performing maintenance).
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 main switch off.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the main switch back on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be en-

Quick shifterThe quick shifter allows for full-throttle,
clutch lever-less upshifts. When the
shift switch detects motion in the shift
pedal, engine power and drive torque
are momentarily adjusted to allow the
upshift to occur.TIPThe quick shifter operates when travel-
ing at least 20 km/h (12 mi/h) with an
engine speed of 2000 r/min or higher,
and only when accelerating. It does not
operate when the clutch lever is pulled.NOTICE

To prevent d rivetrain damag e, al-
ways use the clutch lever to shift
when rid ing at slow speed , when
d ownshiftin g, or if the quick shifter
is off.

Tachometer
The electric tachometer shows the en-
gine speed, as measured by the rota-
tional velocity of the crankshaft, in
revolutions per minute (r/min). When
the vehicle is first powered on, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero.

display
This display indicates the temperature
of the coolant from 41 °C to 124 °C in
1 °C increments.
If the coolant temperature is between
117 and 124 °C, the coolant tempera-
ture display flashes and the coolant
temperature warning light comes on. If
this occurs, reduce the load on the en-
gine by riding at a moderate pace, at
low rpm, until the coolant temperature
goes down. If the temperature does
not go down, or if the message “HI”
flashes, stop the engine and let it cool.
(See page 7-42.)
TIP When the vehicle is turned on, the
coolant temperature display is au-
tomatically selected.
 When the coolant temperature is
below 41 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.Air temperature d isplay

of the air drawn into the air intake duct.
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
display between the coolant tempera-
ture and the air temperature.
TIP When the coolant temperature
display is selected, “C” is dis-
played for one second, and then

played.
 When the air temperature display
is selected, “A” is displayed for
one second, and then the air tem-
perature is displayed.
 When the air temperature is below

O dometer an d tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle. The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset. To reset
a tripmeter, push the “RESET” button
for one second.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.Fuel reserve tripmeter
If the fuel level warning light comes on,
the display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In this case, push the
“SELECT” button to switch the display
in the following order:
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km or MPG →
AVE _ _ _._ km/L, AVE _ _ _._ L/100 km
or AVE _ _ _._ MPG → _ _._ → ODO →
TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
TIPIf you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi), it will reset auto-
matically and disappear from the dis-
play.Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km” when using kilometers, or
to “MPG” when using miles. When us-1. Instantaneous fuel consumption display

tween “km/L” and “L/100 km”.
 “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.

Avera ge fuel consumption
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE _ _ _._ km/L”
or “AVE _ _ _._ L/100 km” when using
kilometers, or to “AVE _ _ _._ MPG”
when using miles. When using kilome-
ters, push the “SELECT” button for one
second to switch between “AVE _ _ _._
km/L” and “AVE _ _ _._ L/100 km”.  “AVE _ _ _._ km/L”: The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 L of fuel is shown.
 “AVE _ _ _._ L/100 km”: The aver-
age amount of fuel necessary to
travel 100 km is shown. 
“AVE _ _ _._ MPG”: The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 US gal of fuel is shown.
TIPTo reset the average fuel con-
sumption display, push the “RE-
SET” button for one second.
