If the “–” Indicator is Blinking in the Gear Position Window While Riding

CRF1100D/D3/D4/DL4

If the “–” indicator is blinking while riding, you may have a serious problem with the Dual Clutch Transmission system.

Park your vehicle in a safe place and have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.

It may be possible to ride your vehicle by following the steps below.

  • Turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the (On) position and start the engine.

  • If you cannot start the engine:

    Turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position and move the vehicle back and forth slightly (to disengage the gears).

    Turn the ignition switch to the (On) position again and start the engine.


    If you still cannot start the engine:

    Start the engine while applying the brake lever or pressing the brake pedal.


    If you can shift from N to D mode:

    When a gear position is shown in the gear position indicator, you can ride in that gear.

    Take your vehicle to your dealer riding at a safe speed.


    If you can't shift from N to D mode and the “–” indicator is blinking:

    Damage is preventing you from riding. Have your vehicle inspected by your dealer immediately.
