Fuel Consumption Unit Change - rules - 03-18-2021

Hi All

Just wondering if there is a way to change the consumption units? From l/100km to l/Km for instance.

Thanks,
R

I am not aware of any ability to change to litres/kilometer.

The typical metric units are litres/100 km or km/litre. I suspect litres/kilometer would be too small so not seen as practical or maybe amenable to a XX.X display format.

For instance from Fuelly, and using 45 mpg.US as a basis - that translates to 5.227 litres/100 km or 0.05227 litres/km or 19.13 km/litre.

Hi double G

My bad, I meant km/l, that’s how I was raised so trying to work out how many 100kms are in my trip to figure out how much fuel I’m gonna use just seems weird [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND COLD SWEAT]

Is it possible to swap between the two? I assume there must be some sort of adjustment as it would need to be able to change between metric and imperial.

Thanks for clarifying.

I don't think that one can change units from the bike's user interface. It may be possible using a GS-911 or at the dealership, but I have no personal experience doing this.
