Temp Reading.

[DuMar]

You can toggle temps, I've done it, I'll tell you how - I hit a bunch of buttons on the dash, in some combination or other... ::025::

I'll worry about it when I'm next in a metric country, but if you need to do it you should be able dig up the procedure in the manual somewhere.

If there's a procedure in the manual, I haven't found it. :'( Does anyone out there know how to change from F to C?

You wouldn't be pulling my chain, would you Trevor?

I don't believe this is possible on the European and Canadian bikes. Nothing mentioned in the manual. There is no need to as all these countries are purely metric. However, due to the fact that the U. S. is one of the last holdouts on the planet, it is quite possible that the U. S. bikes are able to do this. The manual should tell you how, if it's doable. R

I did it by accident also, but this may work. bring up oat and hold the button down for about 10 sec. It may work. If that doesn't work try holding both buttons?

Sorry Jim, I missed that ... what should I be bringing up? :question:

My apologizes for highjacking this thread.

Sorry, thought you were trying to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the outside are temp. Must have misread the post.

Coolest that I have seen on mine was 22, so it definitely reads below 40 and 30.
Cheers.

Dumar was askin' about your typo my friend...

edit: ah, Outside Air Temp

Aw jeez, I should have just spelled it out.. I was really tired when I posted that and didn't cap the OAT...
Thanks for pointing that out Don..

I like it. Gives me an idea of what to eat for breakfast. 8)

Thanks guys. ::026::

I'll give it a try.

Update:
Well I tried every button this way and that and couldn't get the OAT (I'm a quick learner) to change to Celsius. It reads 38F no matter what I do. The thing is, I'm not sure if this is an appropriate riding temp ... feels a little chilly to me. :-[

My O.A.T. today actually moved all the way up to 63 Degrees F. Still think 43 is as low as mine will go. ::001::

63F in Calgary on February 21st ... you're kidding, right?

Are the daffodils up yet? ::015::

Thats what it read. It was about 45 degrees F in Calgary. Its certainly not very accurate. The Beamer temp guage was spot on. 1 for the Beamer, 0 for the Yamaha.

Sorry about that, RED CAT ... I couldn't resist.

How far is it to your dealer? Would it be cheaper to have a Canadian shop look at it rather than pay the travel cost (time, etc) to have it done under warranty?

Not too high on my priority list. I'll get down to Kalispell some time this summer.

Don't forget to call well ahead of time to make sure they have parts on hand.

I don't think the Beamer's doubles as an EFI sensor. The Tenere's is primarily for Engine Air Intlet Temp input to the ECU, so this is an apples to oranges comparison...especially when you take into account where the sensor is located. ::024::

Sounds like yours should not be stopping a 43 deg F though.

I would have never thought to start comparing the two bikes in that regard..whew, maybe I made an ill-informed purchase > Yep...BMW one Tenere zero ???

... in regards to changing the Outside Air Temperature reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

On the U.S. model the air temperature reading can’t be changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at (800) 962-7926. Thanks!"

I'll be looking for an after market gauge. :-[
