Check Engine This lamp illuminates briefly when the power switch is turned ON. This indicates proper function. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running, see an authorized dealer promptly. The light will remain on if the tilt sensor shuts down the engine. If abnormal sensor or engine operation is detected the light will remain on as long as the fault condition exists. Retrieve the error codes for diagnosis.

Low Oil Pressure This lamp illuminates when oil pressure drops below a safe operating pressure while the engine is running. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running above idle speed, turn the engine off as soon as safely possible and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct and the lamp remains on after the engine is restarted, turn the engine off immediately. See your dealer.

Speedometer

The speedometer displays forward vehicle speed in either miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). A red line on the face of the gauge indicates the maximum safe engine speed.
Excessive engine speed can cause engine damage or failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not allow engine speed to exceed the red line.

Fuel Gauge Display

Image
The fuel gauge displays fuel level. For the most accurate reading, sit on the motorcycle and bring it to the upright position.
The segments of the fuel gauge show the level of fuel in the fuel tank. When the last segment clears, a low fuel warning is activated. All segments including the fuel icon will flash. Refuel promptly.
