Changing Temp Deg F to Deg C

Just brought myself a 2007 VFR800 with 1000K on the clock. Like new! Even smells new:thumbsup:! Oh it's fantastic to be back on the road again after a 4 yr stint away. I am trying to change my temp setting from Deg F to Deg C. Worked out how to change MPH to KMH, not as easy for the temp setting:frown:. Anyone out there know how to do it. The manual wasn't much help.

Cheers
Jim:biggrin:

 

Not a chance

As far as I know the US model can not change from F to C. Not sure the European model.

 

Take it to the dealership. I believe that they can get it set in deg C for you, but they have to use the diagnostic computer to make the change.

 

I have an 07, and I know you cannot change F to C with the button. Pretty sure you do need the stealership to do it for you. Good luck. Ride safe.

 

Looks like its a trip to the dealership for me. Cheers for the info all

Just do it in your head. F to C is F -32 times 9/5.

 

How is it that you can change the speed from miles to kilometers but you can't change the temp from F to C? I didn't realize that. Seems strange.

 

Go figure! Made no sense to me as it such a simple calc for a chip and a nightmare head calc. Mind you, don't often need to know the exact temp, when fingers start to stiffen up its too cold and time to get some grip warmers!

 

nobody ever said that Honda made sense...

 

Deg F just makes no sense to me! Water freezes at -32, boils at 212. Thanks for the calc though should be easy to do in my head.

 

for round numbers take degrees C,
double
add 30

20C = 20x2 + 30 = 70F
really its 68....usually close enuf.

going the other way
degrees F
- 30
half

80F = 80 -30 = 50/2 = 25C
its closer to 26.5C

so like if a degree matters.......

 

X2, been using that for years. close enough for me.

I see everyone is busy at work solving the important questions, i.e. how can Jim read the right temp on new spanking new (to him anyway) VFR Not too critical really and it doesn't effect the enjoyment of being on the road again.
