Low Oil Level Indicator

The low oil level indicator (1) lights when the 2-stroke engine oil is below approximately:

WARNING

If the low oil level indicator comes on while riding, stop riding and shut the engine off. Fill the oil tank to the UPPER level ridge with the recommended oil. Continuing to ride with a low oil level may lead to engine failure that could result in an accident.

Coolant Temperature Gauge

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 Hand C marks. If the needle reaches the H (Hot) mark, stop the engine and check the reserve tank coolant level. Read this and do not ride the motorcycle until the problem has been corrected.

CAUTION:

Exceeding maximum running temperature may cause serious engine damage.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge (1) shows the approximate fuel supply available. At F (Full), the fuel tank capacity including reserve is : 10.5 I (2.8 US gal, 2.3 Imp gal) When the gauge needle first points to RES, refill the tank as soon as possible. At RES there is : 2.7 I (0.7 US gal, 0.6 Imp gal)
