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.
The outside temperature
warning does not mean that
there is no risk of black ice form-
ing at measured temperatures
above 37 °F (3 °C).
At low outside temperatures, icy
conditions must especially be ex-
pected on bridges and in shady
road areas.
Fuel reserve
The fuel level in the fuel tank,
when the fuel warning lamp
switches on, depends on the
driving dynamics. The more
the fuel is moved within the
tank (due to frequently changing
inclined positions, frequent
braking and accelerating), the
more difficult it is to determine
the reserve quantity. For this
reason, the reserve quantity
cannot be accurately indicated.
After the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, the range is
automatically displayed.

driven with the reserve quantity,
