Main functions
The functions displayed in LCD instrument panel on the handlebar are:

1. SPEEDOMETER.
   It indicates riding speed.
2. REV COUNTER.
   It indicates engine rpm value.
3. CLOCK.
4. WATER TEMPERATURE INDICATOR. It indicates engine coolant temperature.
   Important Do not ride the motorcycle if the temperature reaches the max. value as engine could suffer severe damage.

Motorcycle speed
This function is used to display vehicle speed (Km/h or mph, depending on the selected unit of measurement).
The instrument panel receives information about the actual motorcycle speed (calculated in km/h) and displays the value increased by 5%.
The max. displayed speed is 299 km/h (186 mph). When speed exceeds 299 km/h (186 mph) a string of dashes “- – -” (not flashing) will be displayed.

Engine rpm indication (RPM)
This function allows displaying engine rpm. The instrument panel receives rpm value and displays it. Value is progressively displayed from left to right identifying rpm value.

Clock
This function allows displaying time indication. Time is always displayed according to the following sequence:

• AM 00:00 to 11:59;
• PM 12:00 to 11:59.
  In case of battery off (Batt-OFF), when the voltage is restored and upon next Key-On, clock will be reset and will automatically start counting from “0:00”.

Engine Coolant temperature
This function describes the operation of engine coolant indicator.
The temperature unit of measurement can be selected (°C or °F).
Value is indicated as follows:

• if value ranges between -39°C and +39°C (-38°F and +102°F) “LO” will be displayed steady on instrument panel;
• if value ranges between +40°C and +120°C (+104°F and +248°F) value will be displayed steady on instrument panel;
• if value is equal to or higher than +121°C (+250°F) “HI” will be displayed flashing on the instrument panel.
  Note
  If the sensor is in fault, the three flashing dashes (“- – -“) will be displayed and, at the same time, the “Engine/Vehicle Diagnosis – EOBD” light will come on.

Menu functions

Menu functions are:

• Menu 1
• Odometer (TOT)
• Trip meter 1 (TRIP1)
• Trip meter 2 (TRIP2)
• Indication of estimated distance that can be run (RANGE)
• Menu 2 (if active)
• Average Fuel Consumption (CONS.AVG.)
• Instantaneous fuel consumption (CONS.)
• Average speed (SPEED AVG)
• Trip time (TRIP TIME)
• Air temperature (AIR)

Odometer (TOT)
This function allows displaying the indication of the total distance travelled (Km or miles according to the specific application).
Upon Key-On, system will automatically access this function.
The value is saved permanently and cannot be reset. If the value exceeds 199999 km (or 199999 miles) “199999” will be displayed permanently.
The reading is not lost in case of a power OFF (Battery OFF).

Trip meter 1 (TRIP 1)
This function allows displaying the indication of the partial distance traveled (Km or miles according to the specific application). When this function is accessed and button (1) is kept pressed for 3 seconds, trip meter will be reset. When the reading exceeds 9999.9, the distance traveled is reset and the meter automatically starts again.

Note
When this reading is reset, also “Average Consumption”, “Average Speed” and “Trip Time” functions are reset.
Whenever the system unit of measurement is changed from the “SET UNITS” function of the Setting menu or in case of power off (Battery Off), the distance travelled is reset and the meter starts counting from zero again (considering the new set units of measurement).

Trip meter 2 (TRIP 2)
This function allows displaying the indication of the partial distance travelled (Km or miles according to the specific application). When this function is accessed and button (1) is kept pressed for 3 seconds, trip meter will be reset. When the reading exceeds 9999.9, the distance traveled is reset and the meter automatically starts again.

Note
Whenever the system unit of measurement is changed from the “SET UNITS” function of the Setting menu or in case of power off (Battery Off), the distance travelled is reset and the meter starts counting from zero again (considering the new set units of measurement).

Residual range (RANGE)
This function estimates the distance that can be run depending on the quantity of fuel measured by the probe in the tank and on the average consumption measured in the last period.
This indication can be a value between 0 km and 340 km (approximate value) for the EU versions, or between 0 km and 320 km (approximate value) for the US versions.

Average fuel consumption
This function indicates vehicle average fuel consumption.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the distance travelled since Trip 1 was last reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is reset and the first value available is displayed 10 seconds after the reset. During the first 10 seconds, when the value is not yet available, the display will show a string of dashes “- -.-“.
Value is indicated in “L / 100” (litres / 100 Km).
The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running and the motorcycle is stopped (moments when the motorcycle is not moving and the engine is OFF are not considered).

Note
It is possible to change the units of measurement for “Consumption” (both average and instantaneous together) from L/100 to km/L through the Setting menu, using the “SET UNITS” function.

Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function indicates vehicle instant fuel consumption.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the distance travelled during the last second. Value is indicated in “L / 100” (litres / 100 Km). The active calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the motorcycle is moving
(moments, when the motorcycle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is OFF, are not considered).
When the calculation is not made, a string of dashes is displayed “- -.-“.

Average speed
This function indicates vehicle average speed. The calculation considers the distance and time since Trip 1 was last reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is reset and the first value available is displayed 10 seconds after the reset. During the first 10 seconds, when the value is not yet available, the display will show a string of dashes “- -.-“.
The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running even if the motorcycle is stopped
(moments when the motorcycle is not moving and the engine is OFF are not considered). The calculated value is then displayed as increased by 5% to be aligned with vehicle speed indication.
