 an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _ _._ MPG) 
a traction control system display
(TCS)
 an air temperature display (AIR)
 a battery voltage display (VOLT)
Push the “RES” switch to change the
display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L, L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._

TRIP → BELT TRIP → ODO
TIP The fuel reserve tripmeter appears
only when you are low on fuel.
 Push the “SEL” switch to change
the display in the reverse order.

Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999 and

Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
 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).
