does the 2014 LC have a digital speedo?

[Katnip]

surely it was just in jest fella each to there own and all that

Yes, each to their own. Just now there is a wc on sale on Autotrader. The bike is grey and the wheels are in metallic blue, or it looks like it. I think it looks crap but each to their own.

I did have some of my bike wrapped in 3m venture shield stuff for protection and I did use carbon flavour on the side panels to darken the bike. I took the view it's my bike and I'll do what I like with my own money. I also take the view you are judged by people you hang out with to a certain extent and the clique here was never welcoming. Whether that's judging me badly or you guys is a good question. Anyway, it wasn't worth my time trying to find a community here that I did not find welcoming to a newbie so I stopped bothering. Oddly, I browsed by pure chance today and things haven't changed. That's fine, you have your forum and it's yours to play with as you want. Maybe making a tad more effort to grow the community wouldn't be a bad thing.

There are a few self opinionated cretins on this forum, but you just have to take their posts with a pinch of salt.

I can see how they come across to people not used to this forum, and have chatted with GS riders while out and about that have avoided the forum for this exact reason.

It's a shame, as you can get some good info and advice here, and also pick up the odd bargain in the FS&W section.

Cheers Count, I couldn't get it to work from the Manual, here's your Post:

Those clever bods in BMW have given us an info display with multitudinous options BUT to get what you want takes a heck of a lot of reading of the Rider's Manual to set it up as you want it and where it keeps changing button numbers depending on which stage you're at, so I've identified the buttons by the names actually on them for clarity.
My preference is for :-
a) The top of the display to show RANGE to empty. This is very useful when going out for a ride and just a glance will tell you if you need to fill up or not more accurately than the fuel gauge bars on the display left. Of course when you're riding it's also nice to know and not wait until the fuel warning light illuminates.
b) The bottom of the display to show SPEED (current not average). The analogue speedo is a bit on the small side and I prefer to read actual numbers since I value my clean licence.

If you have the 'on board computer PRO' as I have, this is the way to go about it. It worked for me!

- 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)

If you think this is complex try reading the Rider's Manual.

This low chassis bike has a Low seat fitted?

That's right, lowered suspension + low seat = 790mm seat height (lowest setting) but bikes have been coming into the UK with seat height set at 800mm, the 10mm difference is from the suspension being lengthened not from the seat being raised. HTH.

Just for your info.............. I have a 2014 bike, it has the factory lowered option, it is the TE model, which has the ESA suspenders. And it does have the option for the digital speedo on the lower or higher half of the LCD screen.

Ahh ... Yes, I'm guilty of the count chavula joke ..!

He's flounced back.

So now you can say, "Sorry, mate" or not. It's up to you. Free choice and all that malarkey.

Count remember the grief you got from some on here that think they own the place but deep down even the sarcastic ones are harmless and even post some useful information.

Thanks Gargy,

I'll take that as the definitive answer and pass it on.

Cheers guys!

6 hours faffing about after the re-set from the service......................then I find this. Should have looked here first. So if anyone else has had a service and the dealer re-set the computer, then dont spend 6 hours scratching ya head, or swearing. its here Top stuff Fluffy

6 hours?

Or did that include lunch, and an afternoon nap?

The electronic speedo readout is rather small, though.

I use the GPS speed via the nav 5...
