4 The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
odometer
two tripmeters
fuel reserve tripmeter
instantaneous fuel consumption
average fuel consumption
total fuel used
Navi gatin g the multi-function dis-
play
Push the “SELECT” button to change
between the odometer “ODO”, tripme-
ters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, instanta-
neous fuel consumption “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, average fuel
consumption “AVE _ _ _._ km/L”, “AVE
_ _ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE _ _ _._ MPG”,
and total fuel used “_ _._” in the follow-
ing order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE _ _ _._ km/L,
AVE _ _ _._ L/100 km or AVE _ _ _._
MPG → _ _._ → ODO
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

ing kilometers, push the “SELECT”
button for one second to switch be-
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.
“MPG”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 US gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _ _._” is displayed.
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.
TIPTo reset the average fuel con-
sumption display, push the “RE-
SET” button for one second.
After resetting the average fuel
consumption display, “_ _ _._” will
be shown until the vehicle has
traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Total fuel use d
This display shows the total amount of
fuel that has been used since it was

6 3. Open the throttle gradually, and at
the same time, release the clutch
lever slowly.
4. After starting out, close the throt- tle, and at the same time, quickly
pull the clutch lever in.
5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
EAU85380
To decelerate
1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes
smoothly to slow the motorcycle.
2. As the vehicle decelerates, shift to a lower gear.
3. When the engine is about to stall or runs roughly, pull the clutch le-
ver in, use the brakes to slow the
motorcycle, and continue to
downshift as necessary. 4. Once the motorcycle has
stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
The neutral indicator light should
come on and then the clutch lever
can be released.
WARNING
EWA17380
Improper brakin g can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use b oth brakes an d apply
them smoothly.
Make sure that the motorcycle
and the en gine have sufficiently
slowe d b efore shiftin g to a low-
er gear. En gag in g a lower gear
when the vehicle or en gine
speed is too hi gh coul d make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the en gine to over-rev. This
coul d cause loss of control, an
acci dent an d injury. It coul d also
cause en gine or drive train dam-
a g e.
EAU16811
Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
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).
