Figure 3
– Shift point adjustment screen and odometer. This screen is displayed until the ignition switch
(right handlebar control) is turned on. The upper and lower buttons adjust the RPM set point.
Run screens
When the engine off/run switch (right handlebar control) is set to run, the RPM shift point
screen is automatically replaced with the last run screen that was selected when the bike was
powered down. If you would like to exit the RPM/odometer screen without turning on the
ignition, then simultaneously pressing both the upper and lower buttons will accomplish this.
Pressing the lower button will cycle the display between the 5 available run screens as shown in
Figure 1. These 5 screens are described in more detail as follows.
RPM graphical screen
The first run screen, shown in Figure 4, is the simplest and provides easy readability for routine
use. The gear position is shown in the top left of all 5 of the run screens. Remember that this
only reads correctly when the clutch is engaged (lever released). The speed is shown just to
the right of the gear position. On the second line is a horizontal bar that graphically displays
the RPM. The full right hand extension of this bar corresponds to the shift point that was set as
described previously. In other words, when the bar completely fills the lower line of the
display, the shift point has been reached.
When the programmable shift point is reached, the entire display is filled with black characters
as shown in Figure 5. Note that this occurs no matter which of the 5 run screens is currently
displayed. While this is a very poor substitute for a specially designed shift light (such as that
on the full-function V-Gauge), it can still be helpful in tuning the optimal shift RPM.
REMEMBER
The gear position is calculated from the ratio of bike speed and engine RPM. For
this reason, it only reads correctly when the clutch is engaged
(lever released).
