Other Indicators

Speedometer/Tachometer

A. Speedometer
B. Tachometer
C. Red zone

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the speed of the vehicle.

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 over-stress the engine and may cause serious engine damage. When the ignition switch is turned on, the speedometer and tachometer nee- dies momentarily sweep from the minimum to the maximum reading, then back the minimum reading to check them operation. If they do not operate correctly, have them checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

Coolant Temperature Meter

The coolant temperature meter indicates temperature of the engine coolant.

A. Coolant Temperature Meter

If the coolant temperature is below 400c (1040F), —” is displayed.

If the coolant temperature rises to above 1150C (2390F) and below 1200C (2480F), the numerical value of the current coolant temperature starts blinking, the warning indicator and coolant temperature warning indicator also go on. This warns the operator that the coolant temperature is high.

A. Coolant Temperature Warning Indicator
B. Waming Indicator (Red)

If the coolant temperature rises to 1200C (2480F) or more, “HI” is displayed and starts blinking, the waming indicator and coolant temperature warning indicator also go on.

A. Coolant Temperature Warning Indicator
B. Warning Indicator (Red)

NOTICE
Stop the engine if the coolant temperature shows “HI.” Prolonged engine operation will result in severe engine damage from overheating.

WARNING
Failing to properly observe the road ahead increases the chance Of an accident. Do not con- centrate on the shift lamp by taking your eyes off the road,  observe using peripheral vision. When shifting down to a lower gear, do not shift at such a high speed that the engine r/min (rpm) jumps excessively. Not only can this cause engine damage, but the rear wheel may skid and cause an accident. Downshifting should be done below 5 000 r/min (rpm) for each gear.
