Mine only has total distance and trip distance - no MPG.iceman wrote:So is mine, '14 reg LED model. No trip computer but the meter has a trip miles function so I reset it each fill-up (it's one of the button presses - mpg, trip, total) but as for economy, the built-in mpg (or litre) gauge is very good so why bother with anything else.TheMaverick wrote:Mine's a 2014 model - so no trip computer - only the fuel gauge.iceman wrote:The built in gauge is fairly accurate except just after filling up from near empty when it takes a while to settle down - mine seems to be within a few mpg compared to real figures. Why not just use that and ride for the conditions or limits of the road and with a personal preference for speed within that.
Remaining fuel seems good - from near brim I can get about 135mpg and 230 miles trip soon as the bar starts flashing. I pushed it once and did just over 240 miles and still had duel left.
I do reset the trip distance counter each time I refill, but it's only of limited use on long & hard runs as I can be down to flashing reserve in as little as 125km or 150km+ - unfortunately in this part of the country the gas stations are somewhere around this distance apart (give or take a little), which is what makes it "interesting" into a strong headwind. Case in point; refueled in Picton the other day - passed through Blenheim without refueling (29km away) on my way to Kaikoura - tail wind. Made it to first pumps with last segment flashing. Return journey had last segment flashing back at Blenheim (so 29km shorter) (and that was after throttling off a bit for the last 1/4 of the journey because I didn't like what the fuel gauge was doing).
