POWER & GROUND
The gauge is a direct plug in. Constant battery power and key switched power are supplied by the stock harness
along with ground.
STATUS AND WARNING INDICATORS
Several indicators are supplied on the stock wiring harness. Some of these may not be active on your motorcycle.
These include the security, engine, ABS, and low fuel.
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 & TACHOMETER
The speedometer and tachometer signals are read from the engine control module (ECM) over a data bus.
The speed can be calibrated to allow for differences in tires or gearing; calibration is discussed later.
The tach bar displays rpm x1000 with a range of 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE! This gauge has an odometer preset option that is only available one time in the first 100 miles
(160km) of operation. See “Odometer preset” for instructions.
