When the needle begins to move above the C (Cold) mark, the engine is warm enough for the motorcycle to be ridden. The normal operating temperature range is within the section between the H and C marks. If the needle reaches the H (Hot) mark, stop the engine and check the reserve tank coolant level. Read [see page and scroll] and do not ride the motorcycle until the problem has been corrected.
Caution Exceeding maximum running temperature may cause serious engine damage.
Coolant Temperature Gauge
Shows coolant temperature .
Lights when the side stand is put down. Before parking, check that the side stand is fully down; the light only indicates the side stand ignition cut-off system is activated.
