Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)


two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to ze-
ro, and the average speed traveled
during this time)


a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a clock


an ambient temperature display


an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE:

For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in °F.


For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is dis-played in °C.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Total → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Trip/fuel →
Total
NOTE:

The Trip/fuel odometer is only acti-
vated if the fuel level warning light
comes on.


The Trip 2 odometer is automati-
cally reset after turning the key to“” and two hours have passed.
Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:
Trip 1 or Trip 2 → Time 1 or 2 → Aver-
age speed 1 or 2 → Trip 1 or Trip 2

3 Ambient temperature display
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –30 °C (–86 °F) to 50 °C
(122 °F).
The frost warning indicator “” auto-
matically comes on if the temperature is
lower than 3 °C (37.4 °F).Oil change indicator “OIL”
The engine oil should be changed
when this indicator comes on. The indi-
cator stays on until it is reset. After
changing the engine oil, reset the indi-
cator as follows.
1. While holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed, turn the key
to “”.
2. Continue holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed for two to
five seconds.
3. Release the buttons and the oil
change indicator will go off.
NOTE:

The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi)
and every 3000 km (4800 mi)
thereafter.


If the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the in-
dicator must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the indi-
cator will come on for two seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,repeat the procedure.

66. Add the specified amount of the
recommended final transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
WARNING
EWA11310


Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the final transmission
case.


Make sure that no oil gets on thetire or wheel.
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20230
To check the coolant level
The coolant reservoir is located under
the battery cover. (See page 6-7.)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:

The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.


Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
Recommended final transmission
oil:
See page 8-1.
