STATUS AND WARNING INDICATORS
The high beam, turn signals, low oil, and neutral indicators are powered by
the gauge and are activated by the stock wiring harness.
Several indicators are supplied on the stock wiring harness. Some of
these may not be active on your motorcycle. These include the security (red key
symbol), engine (red ‘E’), ABS (red ‘ABS’), low fuel (amber fuel pump symbol), and
cruise control (green arrow and circle symbol).
LOW VOLTAGE WARNING
When the voltage drops below the warning limit with the engine running,
“LO” and your current voltage will be displayed. (default warning limit is 11.0V)
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer is read from the engine control module (ECM) data bus.
This can be calibrated to allow for differences in tires or gearing. Calibration is
discussed in a later section.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer is read from the ECM data bus.
The bar displays rpm x1000 with a range of 350 – 7000 rpm. The rpm can also optionally be shown on the
message display.
CLOCK
The clock uses a 12 hour format and can be set by pressing and holding the switch while the clock is displayed.
After the switch is held for a few seconds the hours will begin flashing. Momentarily pressing the switch will change the
hours, holding the switch will move to the minute set and the minutes will begin flashing. Momentarily pressing the switch
will now change the minutes. Holding the switch will exit the clock set mode.
