Digital speed display ?

[Buckingham]

Guys,
How do I get the dash to display the speed of the bike ?
I know to get a decent size speed display, I need the Nav 5 or 6 (one of these is on the way) but
shouldn't I be able to display it on the dash too ? R1200GS-TE, 2017

TIA,

John

If you have TFT no problem, if you have before August LCD cannot be done, only average speed is available hence the NAV5 or 6.

That's nonsense of course you can. I had it on my 2017 GSA. I can't recall the steps needed exactly but I had it available on both lines in the LCD. Might be in your BC CUSTOM menu.

You can display it on the dash, or at least you could on my 2013 TE. Just enter the setup menu via the button on the left hand handlebar and select it along with which line to display it or many other things for that matter.

Unless of course, things changed for the worse in later models like lots of other little cost saving things.

Edit, post above beat me to it.

Ah you might be correct its in a hidden thingy, just found the counts way of doing it, going to have a go now in the garage.

- Ignition on/bike stationary.
- Press TRIP repeatedly - until the top displays SET UP ENTER
- Press TRIP and hold - to start the SET UP menu
- Press TRIP repeatedly - to scroll thru' menu items to reach SET UP BC Custom
- Press INFO and hold - to display 1st menu item SET UP BC ODO appears
- Press TRIP repeatedly - to scroll thru' menu items. During this the bottom line indicates where the menu item currently appears on the display i.e. top or bottom
- Press INFO once briefly - to change your choice to TOP or BOTTOM
- Press TRIP repeatedly - to reach EXIT menu item
- Press TRIP and hold - BC CUSTOM will appear
- Press TRIP and hold again
- Press TRIP repeatedly - to position your choice at the TOP (in my case RANGE to empty)
- Press INFO repeatedly - to position your choice at the BOTTOM (in my case SPEED actual)

Thanks guys - all done

I'm finding the navigation of the menus takes a lot of getting used to

Cool sorry for the wrong reply earlier, as had been through that pesky manual, and it aint clear, but with the counts explanation, it is a tad easier...............

Computer pro maybe, so it seems bike has to have that option on it for this to work, unless someone says different as usual later on just to be smart..............
