Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the road speed of
the motorcycle.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in
revolutions per minute - rpm (r/min). On the
right side of the tachometer face is the 'red
zone'. Engine rpm (r/min) in the red zone is
above the maximum recommended engine
speed and is also above the range for best
performance.
Odometer/Trip Meter/Clock
1. Odometer/Trip meter display
The odometer shows the total distance that
the motorcycle has travelled.
There are two trip meters. Either trip meter
shows the distance that the motorcycle has
travelled since the meter on display was last
reset to zero.
To switch between the trip meter, clock and
range to empty display modes, press and
release the scroll button (see below), located
on the right hand handlebar switch housing,
until the desired display is visible.
1. Scroll button
The display will scroll through in the order:
•Odometer;
• Trip meter 1;
• Trip meter 2;
•Clock;
•Range to empty.
Caution
Never allow engine rpm to enter the 'red
zone' as severe engine damage may result.
TRIP

Warning
Do not attempt to switch between
odometer and trip meter display modes or
reset the trip meter with the motorcycle in
motion as this may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
