hopefully a simple question. How do I get the ambient temperature to display on the dash of my 1200XE? I am able to chose from Fahrenheit to Celsius but unable to get it to show on the information tray.
Hi 12bore, a scrambler owner may help, but there are many manual links on the forum https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/color-haynes-manual-online.24416/
Well @12Bore, the manual is an amazing resource, full of useful information Ambient Temperature (with the ability to display either degrees C or F) is either on the left if you select the Quartz theme or on the right (see below) if you select the Chronos theme. Unfortunately, it's an only in the manual feature, because in reality, it doesn't exist I think it's designed to provide owner entertainment - try asking your dealer to show you how to turn it on, then stand back while they fumble through the menus to fix your seemingly simple request.
Thanks Mr Triple. I'm sure i've seen it on the display under the clock. I wasn't sure if i'd turned it off whilst playing with the menu's. But there is a chance I saw it whilst on a test ride before i bought the bike. I will ask when I next ride past the dealer one day. Cheers anyway
There is no ambient temperature sensor on the scramblers XE or XC. it was put in the manual but Triumph couldn’t make it work so the function was removed they also missed in the early manuals the fact that there is preload on the front suspension, so much for quality control eh
Well if you do see it, and you manage to work out how it's enabled, please post the details I'll be very disappointed with my self-proclaimed ability to work stuff out, if someone says that it just needs turning on in the menus (somewhere)
All the technology and electronics on these modern bikes...and Triumph were thwarted by a thermometer Thanks for the information Repooh...I've ordered one on eBay and will strap it behind the right-hand fork leg
I find that a Turkey pop-up timer is best for that. Here’s one inserted in my right nut (it doesn’t hurt if you push it in quickly).
