NOTE
To prevent scratches use care when cleaning instrument faces. Some models of motorcycles may have acrylic faces.
Fuel
See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , or Figure 5. The fuel gauge displays eight bars when the fuel tank is full. Each bar represents approximately one-eighth of the total fuel capacity.
Speedometer
WARNING
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
The speedometer registers miles per hour (U.S. models only), kilometers per hour (international models only) or is dimensioned in both mph and km/h for required markets.
Instrument backlighting activates after a slight delay. Changes to ambient lighting, such as going through a tunnel, may briefly change backlighting.
Odometer
Pressing the trip switch with the OFF/RUN switch in any position activates the odometer reading.
The odometer window also provides the following selectable displays:
Press and release the trip switch to cycle through the displays.
Trip Odometers A and B
See Figure 6. To check mileage or to reset trip odometers, the OFF/RUN switch must be in the RUN position. Press and release the trip switch (1) until the desired trip odometer register, A (2) or B (3) is displayed. An A or B on the right of the display window identifies the trip odometer.
To reset or zero trip odometers, have desired (A or B) odometer in display window. Press the trip switch and hold for approximately three seconds. The trip odometer resets to zero.
Tachometer/Gear Selection: Except Low Rider (FXLR)
See Figure 6. Press and release the trip switch to cycle through the odometer window displays. The odometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The current gear (1-6) shows next to the odometer. The gear number is blank if the vehicle is not moving, the transmission is in neutral, or the clutch lever is pulled in.
