This speedometer is equipped with an
odometer and trip odometer. The trip
odometer can be reset to “0” with the
reset knob. Use the odometer together
with the fuel gauge to estimate how far
you can ride on a tank of fuel. This in-
formation will enable you to plan fuel
stops in the future.

Fuel cockThe fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetors while also filter-
ing it.
The fuel cock has three positions,
which should be set as illustrated.
ON
With the fuel cock in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetors when the en-
gine is running. Set the fuel cock to this
position when starting the engine and
for riding.RES
This stands for “reserve”. If you are
running out of fuel while riding with the
fuel cock in the “ON” position, quickly
turn the lever to this position. Other-
wise the engine may die and will have
to be primed (see “PRI” below). After
turning the lever to “RES”, fill the tank
at the first opportunity and be sure to
set the fuel cock back to “ON”! Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or
higher.
Fuel tank capacity:
Total:
21 L
Reserve:

PRI
This stands for “prime”. If the engine
has been allowed to run out of fuel, turn
the lever to the “PRI” position to send
fuel directly to the carburetors. This will
make starting easier. However, be sure
to turn the lever to the “ON” position (or
“RES” if you have not refuelled yet) af-
ter the engine has started.
