Figure 1. Indicator lamps are located along the bottom of the instrument cluster.
The two green TURN indicator lamps flash when turn signals are activated; therefore, flashing indicates the chosen turn direction. When the 4-way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators flash simultaneously.
The blue HIGH BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation.
The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.
The red ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE indicator lamp, when lit, signals the coolant temperature has exceeded 243° F (117° C).
The red OIL PRESSURE indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.
NOTE
The OIL PRESSURE indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting the engine. With the engine running, the lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.
Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil pressure indicator lamp to illuminate include:
An insufficient or diluted oil supply causing the oil pressure indicator lamp to remain lit at speeds above idling.
An oil feed clogged with ice and sludge in freezing weather, preventing oil circulation.
A grounded oil signal switch wire.
A faulty oil signal switch.
A damaged or improperly installed check valve.
Trouble with the oil pump.
NOTICE
If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)
Several other circumstances that could cause the red engine coolant temperature indicator lamp to illuminate include:
Cooling fan malfunction.
Low coolant level.
Thermostat malfunction.
Temperature gauge malfunction.
Blocked coolant passages.
Radiator cap malfunction.
Coolant malfunction.
NOTICE
If the engine coolant temperature indicator lamp remains lit, always check the coolant level. If the coolant level is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00158a)
WARNING
Do not loosen or remove pressure cap when cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure and hot coolant and steam can escape from pressure cap, which could cause severe burns. Allow motorcycle to cool before servicing the cooling system. (00091c)
