And now you know why there is a warningIndeed. And also why no range is displayed, since it's not accurate. He he. Now return that useless gadget and get a refund. Ha ha. And yes, to clear the screen you just press both buttons at the same time and all functions come back, except range, which only shows '--' as Maxtog indicated. But the red warning light remains, which is fine with me as a reminder you need to get fuel soon. By the way, I always fill up at EVERY stop, because you never know if a station will be closed, or whatever. Especially in smaller towns. I never use the 'eco' mode, don't ride leisurely at all, and got 230 miles out of the tank as the warning turned on when entering the gas station. So probably a 250-mile tank. This was on the mountains, but an incredible range nonetheless. That's why I'm not going to mess with the bike at all. Have no issues with anything other than would like a bit more power. But bike is fast enough as it is .

Hi Brian and I have learned...won't happen again, sorry When guys like Brian (or Steve) chime in and comment on your "mistake" it's like hearing from the Good Lord above after you've done something wrong...that feeling of shame! That's a total exaggeration but you know what I mean !
And now you know why there is a warning
I don't like the warning taking over the display and REMOVING the range function, but I certainly don't want to lose my warning either.
No. You have to clear the warning, which requires pressing both buttons in a specific way, THEN you can use the computer again, but not the range function, which is left at "--"
Well thanks for the kind words but I really do not think they apply- I am just not that smart. I know this because there are, and always have been, some smart people around and they have left their marks (Easy Boys! Not those kinds of marks!) so that the rest of us can struggle to follow along.
And I certainly did not mean to say that you did anything wrong, just that when getting that close with a range (or any other type) of estimating device, I think it is really 'teasing the tiger'.
We are all equals here, just discussing different things and I happen to like the technical aspect of machines. So I really suggest everyone take everything I say with a grain of salt 'cause you never know when it will turn out to be wrong..... or at least I never know when I am going to be wrong or I would avoid it everytime. :-)
Brian
I know you weren't implying that I did anything wrong...just having fun at your expense
You can't compare mpg between riders. There's too many variables.
On the other side of the coin, I found a "low fuel warning" with more than a full gallon left in a sub- six gallon tank to be.... less than stellar.
And probably faster than it took my wife to ravel the 2 miles with a gas can !
Just flash for 30minsec and then leave the red light on
Mr. P/W, pls. consider this action of your wife to be a thinly veiled passive/aggressive swipe at your masculinity, and she will escalate these episodes whenever appropriate to her feminine wiles.
Installed brand new Shorai lithium battery today, I cannot believe how fast it turns over now !!
Yeah, well, wait until the battery is COLD (I believe lithium is much more temperature sensitive than SLA)Shori batteries are pretty good in the cold. I have one in my dirt bike & it was cranking over last week in the low 40's just as good as when in the 90's. I'm not to worried about any lower than 30's here in central florida. The key to starting with a lithium battery in very cold weather "not Florida" is to turn on the lights for about a minute before cranking over, That warms the battery & it then has the same power as in warmer weather. My friends up north have them in their snowmobiles & swear by them
