• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gas & Temperature Gauges?

I have seen on many posts that some of you replace the Gas or Temperature gauges with other things like clock or volt meter.

I was wondering why? Don't you need to know how much gas your have or if Temp. start to change?

I am just curious.

When you disconnect the analog gas and temp guage, it appears on your screen digitally, much more accurate.

Options----

When both analog gauges are removed the info will show up on the center screen automatically. Then you can put 2 of what ever you want in the 2 holes. A larger digital clock, USB sockets, 12v socket, other gauges, ect.
Hope this answered your question,

Think ya beat me to the answer Joe.

Interesting! Now I'll have to figure out what I want to install. The Speedo and Tach could both be eliminated also.

Has anyone ever asked, or does anyone know why the duplication ? I mean if you take them out and they are in the digital display, then why not put something else useful there in the first place ? I mean, there must be a reason...I just wonder why ???
 
The gas gauge on the 2010 - 2012 seemed to be subject to instability. The needle would wobble and it would give widely inaccurate readings so that it was not easy to determine gas remaining. Which is why most of us set a trip meter to zero at each fill up to know actual miles on the tank.

My 2014 gauge is rock solid. No need to disconnect and replace like I did on both my 2010 and 2011 RT's. Disconnection of both gauges automatically gives digital gauges on the main screen. Note: you have to do both gauges, not just the gas gauge. :yes:

It's only the higher spec RT's (originally just the Ltd's? but now also the Specials?!) that get the analogue gauges, the std spec RT's hafta put up with just the digital gauges & block off plates filling the holes in the facia..... But it didn't take RT Ltd Riders all that long to realise that the analogue gas gauge wasn't all that accurate/reliable an indicator, so the search was on for a way to revert to the much more reliable & accurate digital gauge that the std spec Spyders already enjoyed! And lo & behold!! :thumbup:
 
I guess that is what is confusing me, if the base model has the digital gauges, then on the RTS and limited why didn't they add a 12v plug, or usb plug, or clock or something extra, instead of duplicating the digital gauges with inferior analog gauges....Inquiring minds want to know !
:banghead:
 
Oh grasshoppah.
Do not be confused.
Just roll with the changes♾⚭⚢☯☮☼〽
