INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS
The indicators are incorporated in the instrument panel. Their functions are described on the following pages.
For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS:
Speedometer: shows riding speed.
Tachometer: shows engine rpm.
Never allow the tachometer needle to enter the red zone, even after the engine has been broken in.
CAUTION:
The red zone indicates the maximum limits of engine speed and running the engine in the red zone may adversely affect its service life.
Turn Signal Indicators (green): Flashes when the turn signal operates.
Odometer: Shows accumulated mileage.
Tripmeter: Shows mileage per trip.
Tripmeter Reset Button: Pushing the button resets the tripmeter to zero (0).
High Beam Indicator (blue): Lights when the headlight is on high beam.
Neutral Indicator (green): Lights when the transmission is in neutral.
Low Oil Pressure Indicator (red): Lights when engine oil pressure is below the normal operating range. Should also light when the ignition switch is ON and the engine is not running. Should go off when the engine starts, except for occasional flickering at or near idling speed when the engine is warm.
CAUTION:
Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure may cause serious engine damage.Side Stand Indicator (amber): Lights when the side stand is put down. Before parking, check that the side stand is fully down; the light only indicates the side stand ignition cut-off system (page 47) is activated.
For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS:
Fuel Reserve System Indicator:
When this Indicator comes on while riding, there are about 5 liters (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal) left in the tank. Should also light for a few seconds and go off when the ignition switch is turned ON.
Fuel Gauge:
The fuel gauge shows the approximate fuel supply available. At F (Full) there are 28 liters (7.4 US gal, 6.1 Imp gal), including the reserve supply. When the gauge needle enters the red band, the fuel level is low and you should refill the tank as soon as possible. The amount of fuel left in the tank when the needle enters the red band is approximately 3.5 liters (0.9 US gal, 0.8 Imp gal)
Coolant Temperature Gauge:
The normal operating temperature range is the zone between the C (cold) and H (hot) marks. Wait for the temperature gauge needle to move above the C mark before riding. If the needle reaches the H mark, stop the engine and check the reserve tank coolant level (page 22). Do not ride the motorcycle until the problem has been corrected.
CAUTION:
Exceeding maximum running temperature may cause serious engine damage.
For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Indicator Light:
This light normally comes on when the ignition is turned ON and goes off after starting to ride. If there is a problem with the Anti-lock Brake System, this light comes on and remains on - or blinks. (See chart on page 15.) For information about ABS, see page 54.
Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light:
This light normally comes on when the ignition is turned ON and goes off after starting to ride. If there is a problem with the Traction Control System, this light comes on and remains on - or blinks. (See chart on page 15.) For more information about TCS, see page 58.
TCS Activation Light:
This light lights when the traction control system is activated to regulate the engine (see page 58). It will normally light for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON.
TCS OFF Indicator:
This indicator lights when the traction control system is OFF (see pages 59 and 60). It will normally light for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON.
ABS and TCS Indicator Light Operation
If either the ABS or TCS Indicator Light does not operate properly, See your authorized Honda dealer for service.
