Speedometer

The speedometer shows the speed of the vehicle in digital values.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute (r/min, rpm). On the top side of the tachometer face is a portion called the "red zone".

Engine r/min (rpm) in the red zone is above maximum recommended engine speed and is also above the range for good performance.

NOTICE

Engine r/min (rpm) should not be allowed to enter the red zone; operation in the red zone will overstress the engine and may cause serious engine damage.

• Push the RESET button. The hour display stops blinking and the minute display starts blinking. Push the MODE button to advance the minutes.

• Push the RESET button. Both the hour and minute displays start blinking again.
• Push the MODE button. The displays stop blinking and the clock starts working.

NOTE

• Pushing the MODE button momentarily advances the hour or minute step by step. Pushing and holding the button advances the hour or minute continuously.
• The clock works normally by the back-up power while the ignition switch is turned off.
• When the battery is disconnected, the clock is reset to 1:00 and starts working again when the battery is connected.

• When the figures come to 999999, they are stopped and locked.

Trip Meters AB

The trip meter shows the distance in kilometers or miles traveled since it was last reset to zero.

To reset the trip meter:

• When the trip meter is reset while the vehicle is stopped, it starts counting as soon as the vehicle starts moving.
• When the trip meter reaches 9999.9 while riding, the meter resets to 0.0 and continues counting.
• When the battery is disconnected, the meter display resets to 0.0.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel in the fuel tank is shown by the number of segments displayed.

When the fuel tank is full, all the segments are displayed. As the fuel level in the tank goes down, the segments disappear one by one from F (full) to E (empty). The lowest segment and fuel level warning symbol blink in the digital meter when approximately 4.2 L (1.1 US gal) of usable fuel remains.

Refuel at the earliest opportunity if the most bottom segment of the fuel gauge blinks.

When vehicle stands with Side Stand, Fuel Gauge cannot show the amount of fuel in the fuel tank exactly.

Stand upright the vehicle to check the fuel level.

1. Blink

All of the segments and fuel symbol will blink in case of the open or short of the wiring. Have the wiring inspected by an authorized Kawasaki dealer immediately.
