Clutch Temperature Indicator; Gl1800Bd/D/Da; Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Honda GL1800D Owner's Manual

Clutch Temperature Indicator

GL1800BD/D/DA

The clutch temperature indicator flashes if
the clutch temperature becomes unusually
high.
If the indicator flashes, pull safely to the
side of the road and shift the transmission
to neutral, then idle the engine.
When the indicator goes off, riding can be
restarted.
If this occurs frequently, contact your
dealer.
NOTICE
Continuing to ride with high clutch temperature can
cause serious damage to the clutch.
Warning Indicators On or Flashing

Low Tire Pressure Indicator

If the low tire pressure indicator flashes,
check your tires as soon as possible.
If the low tire pressure indicator lights
constantly, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible.
For more information on temporary repair,
refer to "Emergency Repair Using a Tire
Repair Kit." P. 189

Check the air pressure when the tires are
cold. (This means the motorcycle has been
parked for at least 3 hours.)
Adjust to the recommended tire pressures
if necessary. P. 233, 235

When the low tire pressure indicator
flashes or comes on, but you continue to
ride, the low tire pressure indicator will go
off in some cases. It is still necessary to
check the air pressures of both tires after
the tires cool because air in the tires is
expanded with heat.
u Clutch Temperature Indicator
If the low tire pressure indicator does not
go off after inflating the tires to the
specified values, have your dealer to check
the system as soon as possible.
Riding on an underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
motorcycle's handling and stopping ability.
Because tire pressure varies by temperature
and other conditions, the low tire pressure
indicator may turn on unexpectedly.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the rider's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level of turning on the
low tire pressure indicator.
For example, if you check and fill your tires
in a warm area, then ride in extremely cold
weather, the tire pressure will be lower
than measured and could be underinflated
