» Each time you press the but-
ton, display field 2 cycles
through the following read-
ings:
– Residual range
– Average speed
– Average consumption
– Oil level
– Ambient temperature
Residual range
Residual range is calculated
on the basis of your style of
riding and the amount of fuel
left in the tank; the reading
indicates the estimated dis-
tance you can travel before the
fuel supply runs out.
If the motorcycle is resting on
its side stand, the level in the
tank cannot be measured cor-
rectly, so this estimate of
residual operating range will
be inaccurate.
When you refuel (ignition
switched off) the on-board
computer does not register
the increase in fuel level unless
more than 2 litres are added to
the fuel already in the tank.
The tank must contain at least
5 litres of fuel for the fuel-
gauge reading and the resid-
ual range to be recalculated.
The residual range is only an
approximate reading. Conse-
quently, you should not try to
use the full residual range
before refuelling.
Average speed
Elapsed time since the last
"RESET" is used as the basis
for calculating average speed.
Times during which the engine
was stopped are excluded
from the calculation.
