Had what looks like a water icon on right lower side of display and "LO" on toggle thru of display. Temp normal. Interesting. Need to see which type of coolant to get. Is there also an indicator for low oil?? 600 miles and wrench 2 also showing. Planning on synthetic engine oil for change. Any recommendations on change frequency after synthetic engine oil?? Thanks in advance.

Haven't seen this nor do I see it listed in the manual. hummm...
I do see LO FUEL but nothing on low coolant.
As far as I know, neither the oil or the coolant has a low-level warning gauge.
but these things have so many sensors and wires. hard to really know what all it tracks.

my display will actually say "LO" also till the engine warms up enough to put one bar on the temp gauge. this is refers to the coolant temp not the level.

Check radiator overflow...
cold should be...half full
..or half empty......
mine...I've only seen bars...
2 bars...cold or Hot (hot meaning road hard
for an hour )...

I would recommend buying the Honda HP coolant. It's available in quarts at any Honda powersports dealer.
There isn't an indicator for low oil or coolant.
The wrench 2 icon is for the second service which is 600 miles or 100 hours after the first service. Once reset, you will see it come on every 600 miles / 100 hours thereafter.
If I was changing to synthetic, I would use the Honda HP4S 10-30. You can buy it online for no more, or maybe even cheaper than some of the mainstream synthetics such as Mobil 1. There are so many variables involved with change frequency, it's hard to give a recommendation.
