Indicator Initial Operation
When the ignition switch is turned on, all indicators go on/off as shown in the table. If any indicator does not operate as shown, have it checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
-
When ignition switch is turned on.
-
After a few seconds
-
When engine starts.
-
Goes on.
-
Goes off.
-
goes off shorty after the motorcycle starts moving.
When Warning Indicators Appear or Blink
When warning indicators appear, there could be a problem with vehicle function. Follow actions in the table after stopping the vehicle in a safe place. The numbers in this column corresponds to reference numbers on page 29.
- After continuous riding on a rough road.
- When the engine is started with the stand raised and the transmission engaged, and the rear wheel turns.
- When accelerating so abruptly that the front wheel leaves the ground.
- When the ABS has been subjected to strong electrical interference.
- When tire pressure is abnormal. Adjust tire pressure.
- When a tire different in size from the standard size is being used. Replace with standard size.
- When the wheel is deformed. Replace the wheel.
Refer to the beginning of this section for indicator position. ESD (Electronic Steering Damper) indicator may blink and the warning indicator may appear when the ignition switch is turned on with the motorcycle moving. If this happens, first turn the ignition switch off, and then back on with the motorcycle completely stopped. The ESD and warning indicator should then go off. If they do not, have the ESD system checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
Other Indicators
Speedometer/Tachometer
A. Speedometer
B. Tachometer
C. Red Zone
D. Engine Speed Indicator and Shift-up Indicator (Numeral Part)
Speedometer
The speedometer is digital and can be set for km/h or mph. The unit setting can be changed according to local regulations. Make sure the unit setting (km/h or mph) is correctly displayed before riding. Refer to the Unit Setting (UNIT) in the Setting Mode section.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute (r/min, rpm).
NOTICE
Engine speed should not be allowed to enter the red zone; operation in the red zone will overstress the engine and may cause serious engine damage.
When the ignition switch is turned on, the tachometer needle momentarily sweeps from the minimum to the maximum reading, then back the mini- mum reading to check its operation. If the tachometer does not operate correctly, have it checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
Engine Speed Indicator
The engine speed indicator (numeral part of the tachometer) appears according to the engine speed.
NOTE
The engine speed indicator appears earlier 500 r/min (rpm) than real engine speed. The engine speed indicator also serves as the shift-up indicator.
Shift-up Indicator
The shift-up indicator can be used to indicate the timing for next up shift to prevent engine damage by blinking the shift-up indicator once a pre-set engine speed is reached.
NOTE
The shift-up indicator blinks slowly from 500 r/min (rpm) before it reaches pre-set engine speed, and then it blinks fast after it reaches pre-set engine speed.
Shift-up Indicator Setting
This function can be selected from on or off. Refer to the Shift-up Indicator Setting (SHIFT LAMP) in the Setting Mode section.
Shift-up Engine Speed Setting
The shift-up indicator timing can be adjusted between 9 000 r/min (rpm) and 13 500 r/min (rpm). Refer to the Shift-up Engine Speed Setting (SHIFT REV) in the Setting Mode section.
