Coolant Temperature Gauge

The coolant temperature shown by the number of segments displayed.

If the coolant temperature rise to above 110ºC (230ºF), all the segments are displayed, and the "H" mark and the coolant temperature indicator blink.

This warns the operator that the coolant temperature is too high. Stop the engine and check the coolant level in the reserve tank after the engine cools down. Have the cooling system checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel in the fuel tank is shown by the number of segments displayed.

When the fuel tank is full, all the segments are displayed. If the fuel level is not displayed correctly, have the fuel gauge check by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

As the fuel level in the tank goes down, the segments disappear one by one from F (full) to E (empty).

The fuel level warning indicator goes on when approximately 2.3 L (0.6 US gal) of usable fuel remains. Refuel at the earliest opportunity when the fuel level warning indicator goes on.

When the vehicle is on the side stand, the fuel gauge cannot display the correct level. Stand the vehicle upright to check the fuel level.
