RE: Ambient Temperature Readout - Bimmerman - 08-08-2023
Well, after taking my bike in for its first check up after break-in they could find nothing wrong with the sensor. I did notice though that when I left the dealer it was at 28ºC and I just happened to be looking down after about 7 minutes or so of riding when it shot up to 36ºC as I was looking at the display. It seems to be working fine now but on some rides takes a bit of time to show the temp. I wish though it showed increments of the temp since there is quite a bit of difference using Celsius.

On our last 3 cars if you parked less than 4 or 5 hour, then started driving again the temperature readout would not up update until you drove faster than 50 mph.
We don't ride in large cities, so I have no idea if the bikes act the same.

That’s something I hadn’t considered. If it connected to going over a certain speed that would explain a lot.

(automotive ambient temperature monitoring systems have a programmed delay that is inversely proportional to the speed of the vehicle. )

Never had a problem with the temp sensor though I used to live in a cooler climate. Apparently global warming is not longer a thing, It's global boiling now.
Get used to your present day electronics not reading correctly when the ambient temp is beyond the engineered range 8)
RE: Ambient Temperature Readout - Bimmerman - 08-24-2023
One thing I think is a little disappointing is the temp readout now is only 2 digits. On my F800GT it would at least give you half a degree when in Celsius. 1degree in Celsius is say 2 or 3 degrees in Fahrenheit (just a guesstimation). I have switched my readout to Fahrenheit just to get a more accurate reading.

Just curious ... what do you do with this perceived extra accuracy?
Don't forget, the sensor itself has a tolerance +/- on accuracy anyway and it is likely more than a degree - Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Nothing really. I just thought I would get a somewhat more accurate reading as to what the temp was. It doesn’t really matter. I grew up on the States but have lived in Japan where everything is metric. When it comes right down to it I can just ask Siri and get an accurate answer.

Thanks, I know the conversation. I just meant in Fahrenheit you get a more accurate reading because the difference of 1 degree Fahrenheit vs 1 degree Celsius is somewhat significant.

When the road is wet it's nice to know if the temp is 35F or 32F.

Are you familiar with the term "Bat Poop Crazy"?

That's when we were younger. Not sure if I'm smarter now or just chicken
