INSTRUMENTS: TRI-GLIDE MODELS

Speedometer
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
See Figure 7. The speedometer registers miles per hour of forward speed. The speedometer has a single display for the following selectable functions:

• Odometer
• Trip odometers A and B
• Fuel range function

1. See Figure 7. Pressing the function switch with the ignition switch in any position will activate the odometer reading. Mileage may be checked without unlocking ignition switch. Press and release the function switch once to view odometer.
2. To check mileage on trip odometers, the ignition switch must be in the ACC or IGNITION position. Press and release the function switch until the desired trip odometer reading is displayed. An A or B in the upper left of the display window identifies trip odometers.
3. To reset or zero trip odometers, have desired (A or B) odometer in the display window. Press the function switch and hold switch for 2-3 seconds.The trip odometer will be reset to zero.
4. Repeat the previous step if you wish to zero both trip odometers.

Tachometer
See the OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS section. Do not operate the engine above maximum safe RPM as shown under OPERATION (red zone on tachometer). Lower the RPM by upshifting to a higher gear or reducing the amount of throttle. Failure to lower RPM may cause equipment damage. (00159a)
See Figure 6. The tachometer measures the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).

Tip Indicator Lamp
If tip occurs, check all controls for proper operation. Restricted control movement can adversely affect the performance of the brakes, clutch or ability to shift, which could result in loss of vehicle control and death or serious injury. (00350a)
Should motorcycle be tipped over, the word “tip” will appear in the odometer window. Engine will not start until reset .To reset, cycle ignition/headlamp key switch ON-OFF-ON.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel in the fuel tank(s) and is located to left of the speedometer or on the left front panel of the fairing.

Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge indicates engine oil pressure and is found on the front panel of the fairing. Engine oil pressure will normally vary from 5 psi (34 kN/m2) at idle speed to 30-38 PSI (207-262 kN/m2) at 2000 RPM when engine is at normal operating temperature of 230° F (110° C).

Voltmeter
The voltmeter indicates electrical system voltage and is found on the front panel of the fairing. With the engine running above 1500 RPM, the voltmeter should register 13-14.5 volts with battery at full charge.

Air Temperature Gauge
The air temperature gauge indicates the ambient air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. This gauge is found on the front panel of the  fairing.

Fuel Range Function
The fuel range function shows the approximate mileage avail-able with the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

1.  With the ignition switch in the ACC or IGNITION position, press function switch until fuel range function is displayed, as indicated by the letter ‘r’ in the left side of the odometer display. The calculated remaining distance (miles or kilo-meters) to empty is displayed, based on the amount of fuel in tank. Range can be accessed at any time using the function switch.
2. When the low fuel warning lamp illuminates, the range feature will automatically be displayed in the odometer unless this automatic pop-up feature is disabled by a press and hold of the function switch while in range display mode. Automatic range pop-up feature will show that it is disabled by blinking twice. Likewise, automatic range popup can be reactivated by a press and hold of the function switch. Range will blink once when the automatic pop-up feature is re-enabled.
   NOTE
   
   1. When the low fuel warning lamp turns on, there is approximately 1.00 gallon (3.79 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank. Refuel as soon as possible.
   2.  The range display is only updated when the vehicle is moving.
3. After the range calculation reaches 10 miles (16 kilometers) remaining, the range display will display “r Lo” to indicate that the vehicle will shortly run out of fuel.
4. Resetting the low fuel warning lamp and range requires an ignition cycle change.
