eled since it was last set to zero)

●

an engine speed meter (which shows the
engine speed; not for use while riding)

●

warning indicators (which show self-diag-
nosis, coolant temperature, fuel level, and
oil level warnings)

●

indicator lights (which show high beam and
low coolant temperature conditions)

●

a warning light (which shows warnings to-
gether with the warning indicators)

●

a fuel meter (which shows the fuel remain-
ing in the fuel tank)

●

a grip/thumb warmer level indicator (which
shows the grip warmer or the thumb warm-
er level)

When the key is turned to the on position, the
warning light, the low coolant temperature in-
dicator light, and all segments of the meter
display come on and go off.
The grip warmer level is initially displayed for
