Default What is a countdown feature?

Been reading about some 2011models and below in the description it talks about a countdown feature. I'm
Confused on what that is. Can anybody tell me? "Tank-mounted electronic speedometer with odometer, time-of-day clock on odometer, dual tripmeter, fuel gauge with low fuel warning light and countdown feature, low oil pressure indicator light, engine diagnostics readout, LED indicator lights, 6-speed indicator light"

Sounds like the "Range to empty" feature

It estimates how many miles you have left with the fuel you have remaining.

Ok thank you. So I assume you can click on the "trip button" and it will give you time, total mileage, trip A, trip B, then mileage countdown?

I alway thought it would measure how long it took the nearest dealer to empty out your wallet....

I would have to disagree with you on that,my wife and I both have 2011 bikes and the range indicator works very well,that's what we go by,no issues yet.

Just a guess, but maybe it's like my wife's Escape, and it tells you how many miles before your tank is empty?
