Outside temperature
Engine heat can lead to spuri-
ous readings of outside tem-
perature when the motorcycle
is stationary. When the effects
of engine heat on the monitored
temperature become excessive
the display responds by tem-
porarily reverting to "

display reading.
In the case of outside tempera-
tures below 37 °F (3 °C), risk of
ice formation exists. The display
automatically switches from any
other mode to outside tempera-
ture reading

ature drops below this threshold
for the first time. The displayed
value flashes.

symbol
