LCD tachometer

The LCD tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all of
the display segments of the LCD ta-
chometer will appear one after the oth-
er across the r/min range and then
disappear, in order to test the electrical
circuit.

NOTE:

The first segment of the tachometer will
flash while idling or riding until the cool-
ant temperature has reached 60 °C
(140 °F), so this is not a malfunction.

CAUTION:

ECA10031

Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 14000 r/min and above
