Setting the computer screen

paul08 · Apr 20, 2013

There was a very useful posting (a week or so I believe) which gave idiot's guidance on setting up the screen on the bike to show specific information.

Have tried searching , but cannot find it. Any kind soul want to point me to it?

JayC · Apr 20, 2013

There are only 16 pages to search, as it is a relatively new section, so just how difficult can the search be?
I have little interest in the new model and yet found the thread in less than 60 seconds.

Your turn...

Oh ffs really , how difficult is it? It's like asking where the Harley section is on the main forum. :blast

There are only 16 pages to find the right title within the 'Wasserhead' section and last I looked it was on page 6. No, I didn't know what title I was looking for either.

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.
Hope this helps.

I'm putting him out of his misery.

Well, I thank you for your help and for the 'spirit" with which it was offered (not).

if it pissed you off so much, why did you even bother posting your inital and subsequent responses. thankfully, there is a core of people on here who can actually raise a smile, rather than a sneer.

Well, that sure was a lot of energy spent on NOT helping. What was that? Some vengeance? «I had to do search, so you search too»?

The two most unfriendly replies on forums: «Do a search» and «Read the bloody manual.» :teacher

It's tradition, if you search for forum rules, it contains the manual for you to read :thumb2

I think you are being unfair. At least he gave you all the time to see if there was such a thread, more than most of us could be arsed to do!

Yellow Peril · Jun 9, 2013

I think you WC's need to start up a few sticky's with useful info and find yourselves a moderator

Appman · Jun 10, 2013

So where is the menu section to select kph over mph?

Before you start, I have already had a peek in the manual.....

Georgeeboi · Jun 10, 2013

I think it can be done but only by the dealer!!
