Oil level indicator
The oil level display 1 provides
information on the oil level in the
engine. This display can only
be activated when the vehicle is
stopped.
The conditions required for using
the oil level display are as follows:
Engine at normal operating
temperature.
Engine idling for at least ten
seconds.
Side stand retracted.
Motorcycle standing vertically
on level surface.
The readings mean:
OK
: oil level correct.
CHECK
: Check oil level during
next refueling stop.
---
: no measurement possible
(above-mentioned conditions not
met).
If the oil level must be
checked, symbol
2 is
displayed, until the oil level is
detected again as correct.
Outside temperature
Engine heat can lead to spuri-
ous readings of outside tem-
perature when the motorcycle
is stationary. When the effects
of engine heat on the monitored
temperature become excessive
the display responds by tem-
porarily reverting to
--
as the
display reading.
In the case of outside tempera-
tures below 37 °F (3 °C), risk of
ice formation exists. The display
automatically switches from any
other mode to outside tempera-
ture reading
1 , when the temper-
ature drops below this threshold
for the first time. The displayed
value flashes.
In addition, the ice crystal
symbol
2 is displayed.
