Fuel light
 

Hi all! loving the new XTR! im still waiting on the riders manual from the dealrship, however, i was wondering if anybody knew why when the fuel light comes on, the display on the speedo changes?

F-trip apears at the bottom with some numbers in decimals appears, could anybody tell me what that is??

thanks alot, Iain :icon_albino:

yeah...you have about 45 miles left APPROX on F TRIP...if you hit the reset/select (i think) it will go back to normal....it certainly does after refuel....

Owner's Manual

the f trip is just an automatic trip meter that starts when your fuel light comes on telling you how many miles youve clocked up while on your fuel light.

I think if you just push select it will make the F trip flash then hit reset and it will 0 it. Same idea as when you reset your trip meter.

when you refuel bike the fuel trip disappear

When the fuel light comes on the trip automatically switches to f-trip which records the miles travelled with the light on. (beware, I've run my r out after 30 miles with light on!) After fuelling up and the light going out and you've travelled seven miles the trip will return to previous setting. It will also revert to previous setting at any time you press select.

Thats cause you ride like a mad man dave:deathmetal[1]:

saves me reading the User Manual.....thanks....

tell me guys.. how do you set the trip metere on yer bike...the xt of course,,every time i try to do it the mph changes to kms an then ave a job trying to get back........ whats the procedure...... to reset the trip...both trips oh an a nearly for got.. when ma fuel light comes on.. ave at least 150 miles left.. but sayin that ave a 27ltr tank.

With your ignition on john pressing the select button scrolls between trip 1, trip 2, and fuel trip (if light on). Pressing and holding reset button will zero whichever is displayed at the time. The fuel trip can be reset like this or left untill youve done 7 miles after the fuel light has gone out (after filling up) and it will revert back to trip 1 or trip 2, whichever it was on before.
