I want it to just show the ambient air temp not the stuff by the intake. It can be 40 degrees out an dif the bikes in traffic its saying temps up around 80.

I need to sit down with the manual and play around with the mode/toggle switches. it does have som eother good features I liked.

That's not a prob with the display, it's a problem with where Buell mounted the sensor. Move the sensor, problem solved. I have heard of guys putting it up in the airbox or ahead of the air intake port. Guess that makes it better.

I wish you could pick which 2 things you want displayed. I would like CT instead of AT and gear myself.

I can't even remember what was displayed on the old 08 cluster.

I do also like the mileage instant/average. it's actually fairly accurate as well.

I got 25. That was pre-drummer however. It is far more efficient now.

It's fun though to get that to come on, then weave side to side hard and slosh the gas around, and reset it.

Mine will only reset if the gas light has been off for something like 3 miles.
