HEhe, I like this pic

4Aaron GE · 12-05-2003, 08:57 AM

heeey, what are those two lights in the tach for? I don't ever recall seeing them on a North American model....

Flashmn · 12-05-2003, 10:29 AM

Its the economy meter. Tells you when you should basically shift... The green one is like "ok you're not wasting much fuel" red is "Ok boy, you're gonna eat up the gas by the bucket"... kinda like a vacuum gauge, but in electronic format

almost right !

i can lift the throttle enough at 180 km/h to make the green light come on.

Yeah, thats because it works on vacuum, you lift the trottle, it'll read more vacuum and go on green.

Doesnt mean you'd be wasting less gas tho
