I've got a question that I hope some of you may have come across before. I bought an US model 08 Goldwing that displays the air temp in degrees F. I'm Canadian and I have an easier time with degrees C. Does anyone know if/how you can change the air temp to degrees C?
My ST1300 lets you change this and the user manual indicates how... the Wing manual however, does not give this information.

I am not 100 percent sure.........I am still learning about the Goldwing.....but I have read the service manuals cover to cover about 20 times....and I do not remember any way to change the setting from F to C. I never use mine......in any event. Everytime someone asks me what the temperature is we are generally stopped and it will say 153 degrees.......where the sensor is unless you are moving it gives a very false reading due to motor heat. It also tends to read high in town traffic, the only time I can say it might be close is on the big slab with a lot of air flow......
Suggestion. They make small thermometers that just stick on with double stick tape. very small.....forget the gadget and place one of the after market temp devices in an un obtrusive location.........Kit

| easiest way to covert C to F, double it and add 30( some say 32), if you gauge is reading say 25, double it= 50 and add 30 thats 80f, from F to C, what ever the gauge is reading, say, 150f, deduct 30 = 120 and half the difference= 60,
