12. Turn ignition switch to IGN, do not start vehicle.
13. Check operation of all lamps.
14. Check speedometer and tachometer for proper operation.
NOTE
  • Both ECM and speedometer retain odometer value. If speedometer is replaced, it displays odometer value stored in ECM. Replacement speedometer will become locked to ECM after 31.1 miles (50 km) have been accumulated. Trip B odometer displays countdown mileage. Once countdown reaches zero, speedometer is locked to ECM. If installed on another vehicle, odometer displays "VIN ERR". If speedometer is removed from vehicle before countdown reaches zero, it has not been locked to ECM. This mileage countdown allows for a road test to verify that speedometer replacement was the proper repair.
  • During 50 km (31.1 mi) countdown period (before speedometer is locked to ECM), security light flashes for up to 15 seconds when battery power is restored to electrical system, while new gauge synchronizes to ECM.
  • Gear Indication display is a calculated gear position based on wheel and engine speed. Gear position displayed may be momentarily inaccurate depending on rider clutch use characteristics and clutch wear. This momentary false reading, although unlikely, can occur if clutch is allowed to slip either due to excessive wear, poorly adjusted clutch or if operator rides the clutch.
  • If gauge is installed on a vehicle with ABS, TC, VHC, and/or TPMS, verify that ABS, TC, VHC, and/or TPMS warning lamp is working properly. See owner's manual for ABS, TC, VHC, and/or TPMS warning lamp operation.
  • When ignition switch is turned from OFF or ACC to IGN, needles will sweep full range from zero to maximum and back. Background and needle colors will sweep through full color range. All telltale indicators will illuminate momentarily.
Backlight Color Modification
Backlight color can be modified for entire gauge or dial, speedometer pointer, tachometer pointer, and display separately (see Table 2 ). Gear indication and fuel level display can also be disabled.
1. Turn ignition switch to ACC.

Battery Reconnection and Initialization
After battery is reconnected or a new gauge is installed, gauge requires about a half tank of fuel to properly initialize fuel range (miles to empty) functionality.
During consumption of first full tank of fuel, gauge software begins the process of learning your riding patterns. Eventually tailoring fuel range calculations to your unique riding characteristics.
Fuel level display and tank-mounted fuel gauge may not always match when starting with a full tank of fuel. Tank fuel gauge utilizes a continuous sweep needle to indicate fuel level. While speedo/tach fuel level utilizes a segmented display. Each segment represents 1/8 of a tank. For example; if a given segment just came on or is about to go off, it would show no change. While needle on tank-mounted gauge would likely show a change in position.
Fuel Fill-up and Top-off
When adding fuel to vehicle, it is recommended you add at least 7.6 L (2 USgal) of fuel to update the fuel and range displays. If fuel display does not update immediately after vehicle is put in motion, the fuel and range displays slowly updates over the next 48.3 km (30 mi).
Press and hold "Trip" reset switch to toggle between "mile" and "kilo" displays.
