digital display
« on: June 11, 2011, 06:42:39 PM »
which screen to you use most?
I find myself leaving mine on out side temperature then occasionally togle thru to see the tire pressure, when the fuel guage gets low I pit it on range. I never leave it on voltage.

The 08 didn't have the outside temp display. So mine had an external, external outside temp display that was always on! On the OEM display though was almost always on the tire pressures! So I technically was on both outside temps and tire pressure!  ;D

I leave mine on voltage when it is really cold out so I can see how much power our heated clothing is using. Often on tire pressure otherwise and just recently, on a long trip, I started using the range display for the first time ever.

Almost always on tire pressure.  In cold weather, I'd use the voltage display if I was using heated gear, especially 2-up.

Only rarely will I use the other diplays, and usually only briefly.

For local riding, mine stays on tire pressure.  I can get a good idea of tire temps that way.  On long rides through the desert or mountains, I'll use the range calculator as well.

Either temperature or tire pressure.  Look at it this way, if tire pressure does go down much the big red light is going to come on.  I mostly switch to tire pressure mode when I'm running the twisties hard where even a slow leak could effect handling.

I usually do exactly what you do-  Temp, then occasionally look at tire pressures and range.  It is a shame with such a large screen that they didn't put more of those things on at the same time or have that as an option.

You should have made the posting a poll :)
