This display shows the cruising range by numerical value and indicates the cruising range from the remaining fuel in the fuel tank. This cruising range display is renewed every 10 seconds. Push the upper meter button or the meter mode button to display the cruising range.

When the fuel tank is full, all the segments (6 segments) in the fuel gauge are displayed, and then, (+) is added to the numerical value of the cruising range.

NOTE

The cruising range value is no longer shown if the fuel level gets too low after the lowest segment (E) blinks and the fuel level warning indicator and message display alternately in the multifunction meter.
To recover the cruising range value display add fuel to at least the level needed for the lowest segment (E) to stop blinking and the fuel level warning indicator and message to stop displaying. The cruising range may still be displayed with a low fuel level, but it will not be accurate until enough fuel is added to stop the lowest segment (E) from blinking and the fuel level warning indicator and message from displaying.

Tire Air Pressure (TIRE F, TIRE R)

This display shows the tire air pressure. This value displayed in this meter is shown by riding at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) or more and 1 minute passed.

Features

Fuel Gauge

The fuel in the fuel tank is shown by the number of segments displayed be- tween E (empty) and F (full).

A. Segments
B. E (Empty)
C. F (Full)
D. Warning Indicator/immobilizer Indicator

NOTE

When the fuel tank is full, all the segments are displayed. As the fuel level in the tank goes down, the segments disappear one by one from F (full) to E (empty).
When the lowest segment (E) starts blinking, and the fuel level warning message and indicator are displayed alternately in the multifunction meter, refer to the “When Warning Indicators Go On or Blink and Warning Messages Display” in the Indicators section in this chapter.
lf the 3 segments blinking alternately, the fuel level warning system has malfunctioned. Has the fuel leve warning system been checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer?
When pushing the lower meter button with the upper meter button held in while the fuel level warning message and indicator are displayed al- ternately in the multifunction mete, the display in the multifunction meter is shifted to the previous display and then the warming indicator/immo- stabilizer indicator goes on.
The fuel level warning message and indicator are displayed by rolling the message in the multifunction meter when more than two warning messages and warning indicators in the multifunction meter are displayed. When rolling the warning message and warning indicator, the warning message shifts to the other warning message by pushing the upper meter button.

Gear Position Indicator

This display shows the corresponding gear position when the transmission is shifted. As the transmission is shifted, the corresponding gear position (1st~ 5th, OD) is shown in this display. When the transmission is in neu-tral, “N” is displayed, and the neutral indicator goes on.

ABS
Mode
Indicator

ABS system, refer to as the Kawasaki
Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) the section in the HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE chapter.

Standard Mode (Mode 1):
Link effect on the front brake is lower than mode 2 from the initial to mid-rear brake pedal stroke. Best suitable on winding roads.

High Combined Mode (Mode 2):
The link effect on the front/rear brake is heightened from the beginning of the rear brake pedal stroke. Best suitable for touring, carrying a passenger, and the expressway.
Push and hold the K-ACT ABS button to switch the K-ACT ABS Mode.

D. Flow when pushing the K-ACT ABS button

NOTE

The mode can only be changed when the vehicle stopped.
The mode setting is maintained the ignition switch is turned off.
when the K-ACT ABS indicator is blinking, the K-ACT ABS has been in the low voltage mode (the battery voltage decreases). When it is in the low voltage mode, the K-ACT system does not function, but the
ABS functions. The ignition switch is turned off to recover the K-ACT system. At this time, the battery must be in normal condition. If the low voltage mode continues, you should have the K-ACT ABS checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
When the battery voltage is low, the the-ACT ABS mode may not be able to be changed. The ignition switch must be turned off to recover the function. OK-ACT ABS mode indicators (mode 1/mode 2) displayed on the multifunction meter go off if the K-ACT function is suspended (for example, low battery mode, etc.).

Economical Riding Indicator

When riding the motorcycle efficiently, the economical riding indicator appears on the multifunction meter to indicate favorable fuel consumption. Monitoring the economical riding indicator can help the rider maximize fuel efficiency.

WARNING
Failing to properly observe the road ahead increases the chance of an accident resulting in severe injury or death. Do not con- centrate on the economical rid- ing indicator by taking your eyes off the road; observe using pe- ripheral vision.

Fuel Indicator Economy Assistance
This motorcycle is equipped with a= fuel economy assistance mode that= helps maximize fuel efficiency. activating the fuel economy assistance mode changes to a leaner fuel injection map that prioritizes fuel economy over ride-ability. The fuel economy assistance mode can be activated using the meter mode button on the left handlebar switches when rpm is less than 6 000, throttle position is less than 30 percent and vehicle speed is less than 250 km/h (155 mph). When the fuel economy assistance mode function is effective, the fuel economy assistance indicator appears on the multifunction meter.
Push and hold the metering mode but ton to switch the fuel economy assistance mode “ON/OFF.”

C. Flow when pushing the meter mode button

NOTE

Rider input affects vehicle fuel ef Fuel consumption efficiency. may change due to a sudden start or quick acceleration.
Activating the fuel economy assistance mode decreases horsepower. Olf knocking” or “pinging” occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or higher octane rating.

NOTICE
Use a minimum of 90 octane gasoline only to prevent severe engine damage.
