Firstly, sorry if this was asked before, but is there a way to change the temp digital read out from Cent to Faren, just like km to miles?

Thanks in advance.

Doing this from memory so bear with me:

Turn on the key while holding down the mode button on the right grip. The bike display will flash everything then settle on kilometers (K) vs miles (M) which you can switch back and forth using the mode button. You indicate you know how to do this. Set it to whichever unit of measure works for you. Then hold down either the clock button or set button up underneath the display. The unit of measure should change to "C" which you can switch to "F" using the mode button. Turn off the bike and the next time you turn it on it should read in Farenheit.

If I did not remember this correctly , hopefully somebody else will correct me.

Press and hold the "MODE" «S» button for at least 3 seconds and at the same time

turn the ignition key to "on".

The icons "kmi" and "°E" will start flashing.

"Kmi" represents the combination of "km" (kilometres) and "mi" (miles)

"°E" represents the combination of "°C" (degrees Celsius) and "°F" (degrees Fahrenheit).

By pushing the "MODE" «S» button for less than a second, the icons "km" and "mi" are selected sequentially.

Push the "SET" button «M» to confirm the selection.

Now the ambient temperature icon "°C" or "°F" starts flashing.

By pushing the "MODE" «S» button for less than a second, the icons "°C" and "°F"

are selected sequentially.

Push the "SET" button «M» to confirm the selection.
Since I only do this once a year, I have to look it up every time. That's why I keep my owner's manual in the bike.

You did, commendable. I was referring to your followup question asking if were you right?

Based on Ramblerdan's copied text I was right. About 10 minutes ago I did a quick search using the terms "mp3 temperature readout" and nothing relevant came up. Perhaps if I just kept at it with a few more combinations of words I might have found a previous thread.
