You are a trooper in that kind of heat I'm going to be in the truck. I rode the other day about a 100 miles @ 95 degrees and 85% or so humidity and that was not a pleasurable experience in NC. I talk to a guy sometimes on the Hytera USA network(ham radio ) and he tells about the heat in AZ,too hot for me. I think he's in Henderson, AZ.

I was looking at your digital display, my 2015 has a analog gauge for my fuel and water temperature . Is this a menu change or is this just the Special Series item?

It's not standard. You have to disconnect the two analog displays (fuel and temp), and the digital invokes automatically. I replaced the analog temp gauge with a digital voltmeter.

Sorry about the crappy photo

I can't read the number but it looks like 130? Did your Spyder give you any fits? A friend was parked at my house a few weeks ago and when he started his Spyder up it went crazy, the temp read 127 and he got the intake air temp too high error.

The thermometer on the Spyder runs about 7 to 8 degrees higher than the actual temperature so that 116 was probably more like 108. I was Ryding two years ago and Spyder said 113, turns the high that day was 105! But at least you got back before the hottest part of the day!:yes:

That happened to ours as well on the way back from Nipton.

Thanks for the explanation. The photo was good enough for my understanding of what you have.

If you're interested, here's a video by Finless Bob. It's pretty easy to do, you just have to remove four t25 screws. You can buy a digital voltmeter on Amazon or other places.
