making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:a speedometer
a tachometer
a clock
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
an odometer and tripmeter display
a multi-function display
a self-diagnosis device
TIP
B e s u r e t o t u r n t h e k e y t o “ O N ” b e -
fore using the “SELECT”, “RE-
SET” and “INFO” buttons.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all
display segments of the multi-
function meter unit will momen-
tarily appear in order to test the
electrical circuit. The speedome-
ter, tachometer, fuel meter and
coolant temperature meter will
then perform a display check and
a welcome message will scroll
across the multi-function display.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and multi-function
displays between kilometers and
miles, press the “SELECT” and
“RESET” button together, turn the
key to “ON” and then release the
buttons. Press the “SELECT” but-

When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.

cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-43 for further instruction.
Odometer and tripmeter display
The odometer and tripmeter display is
equipped with the following:
two tripmeters (which shows the
distance traveled since last set to
zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-

If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the set oil service interval has been
reached), the indicator must be reset
