Safety Labels
Safety labels on your motorcycle either warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious injury or they provide important safety information. Read these labels carefully and don’t remove them.
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Honda dealer for a replacement.
WARNING Improper loading can cause a crash and you may be seriously hurt or killed. See "Load Limits and Guidelines" in your Owner's Manual for complete instructions.
For your protection, always wear your helmet while riding. Read the owner's manual carefully.

Gauges, Indicators & Displays
Lamp Check
The low oil pressure indicator comes on when you turn the ignition switch ON so you can check that it is working. The indicator remains on until after the engine is started.
The PGM-FI malfunction indicator lamp lights for a few seconds and then goes off when you turn the ignition switch ON.
(INTERCEPTOR ABS only) The anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator comes on when you turn the ignition switch ON. This indicator goes off after you ride the motorcycle at a speed above 6 mph (10 km/h).
When applicable, the high beam and neutral indicators come on when you turn the ignition switch ON and remain on until you select the low beam or shift out of neutral.
These indicators are identified in the table on pages 18 — 23 with the words: Lamp Check.
If one of these indicators does not come on when it should, have your Honda dealer check for burned-out bulbs or other problems.

Display Check
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the left multi-function display (1) and right multi-function display (2) will temporarily show all the modes and digital segments so you can make sure the liquid crystal display is functioning properly. (Except digital clock)
The displays are identified in the table on pages 20 — 22 with the words: Display Check.
If any part of these displays does not come on when it should, have your Honda dealer check for problems.

Overheating Message: When the coolant temperature reaches 251°F (122°C), the numbers in the temperature display start flashing and the black bar (2) under the numbers becomes a red bar (3). At the same time, the high coolant temperature indicator (5) lights. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the reserve tank coolant level. Read pages 114 — 117 and do not ride the motorcycle until the problem has been corrected.
If the coolant temperature reaches 251°F (122°C) while the air temperature display is selected, the display will automatically switch to coolant temperature.
NOTICE Continuing to ride with an overheated engine can cause serious engine damage.

Air Temperature Meter
The air temperature meter (1) shows the air temperature digitally.
USA : Fahrenheit (°F), Canada : Centigrade (°C).
If the coolant temperature is displayed, push the SELECT button (2) to display the air temperature.
Temperature Display
The temperature sensor is located in the upper fairing. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from the surrounding traffic. This can cause an error in the temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).

Speedometer
The speedometer (1) shows riding speed in miles or kilometers per hour. The speedometer will show “mph” (USA) or “km/h” (Canada) when the battery is reconnected.
Odometer
The odometer (2) shows the total miles or kilometers ridden. This meter can display from 0 to 99,999 miles (kilometers). If the display exceeds 99,999 miles (kilometers), it will return to 0 automatically.
However, you may check the complete odometer reading when the ignition switch is turned ON. The missing sixth digit (indicating hundreds of thousands of miles or kilometers) will display by itself for 0.75 seconds. Then, the odometer will display the maximum 5 digits.
Example: the case of 123,000 miles run.
