: When the transmission is in neutral, the neutral indicator light goes on.

: When the headlight is on high beam, the high beam indicator light goes on.

: When the turn signal switch is pushed to the left or right, the turn signal indicator light blinks.

(For models equipped with ABS)

: The ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) indicator light goes on when the ignition switch is turned on and goes off shortly after the motorcycle starts moving. If the ABS is normal, it stays off. If something is wrong with the ABS, the indicator comes on and remains lit.

When the indicator light is on, the ABS does not function but if the ABS fails, the conventional brake system will still work normally.

For more detailed information about ABS, see the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) section in the How to Ride the Motorcycle chapter.

Warning Indicator Light : This warning indicator light in the meter instrument has the four warning functions: oil pressure warning, fuel injection system warning, immobilizer system warning and coolant temperature warning.

This warning indicator light blinks with each warning symbols: engine oil pressure warning symbol ()/immobilizer warning symbol ()/coolant temperature warning symbol ()/fuel injection warning symbol (). If the warning indicator light blinks with the engine running, have its cause checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. Refer to the "Warning Symbols" in this section for more detailed information.

Warning Symbols -

: The warning indicator light in the meter instrument and the oil pressure warning symbol () in the digital meter blink whenever the oil pressure is dangerously low or the ignition switch is in the ON position with the engine not running, and go off when the engine oil pressure is high enough. Refer to the Maintenance and Adjustment chapter for more detailed engine oil information.

: The warning indicator light in the meter instrument and the immobilizer warning symbol () in the digital meter blink whenever the ignition key is turned to "ON" or trouble occurs in the immobilizer system. After turning the ignition key to "ON", the immobilizer warning symbol () goes off soon after it is ensured that its circuit is functioning properly. If the warning indicator light and warning symbol blink, have the immobilizer system checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

(For models equipped with an immobilizer system)

When the key is turned to "OFF", the warning indicator light will start blinking, which indicates that the immobilizer system is functioning. After 24 hours have passed, the warning indicator light will stop blinking, however, the immobilizer system is still functioning.

Warning indicator light blinks if the improperly coded key is used, or any incorrect communication between antenna and key is occurred. However, when the properly coded key can be used, or the communication is clear, the warning indicator light does not blink.

: The coolant temperature warning indicator light goes on when the ignition key is turned to "ON" and goes off soon after ensuring that its circuit function properly. The coolant temperature warning indicator light also goes on whenever the coolant temperature rises to about 115ºC (239ºF) when the motorcycle is in operation. If the coolant temperature rises to above 120ºC (248ºF), the coolant temperature warning indicator light starts blinking. If it stays on or starts blinking, stop the engine and check the coolant level in the reserve tank after the engine cools down.

NOTICE Do not let the engine continue running when the coolant temperature warning indicator light goes on. Prolonged engine operation will result in severe damage from overheating.

: The warning indicator light in the meter instrument and the fuel injection warning symbol () in the digital meter blink whenever the ignition key is turned to "ON" or trouble occurs in the fuel injection system. After turning the ignition key to "ON", the fuel injection warning symbol () goes off soon after it is ensured that its circuit is functioning properly. If the warning indicator light and warning symbol blink, have the FI system checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
