Why would Ducati do away with the outside air temp display on the M1100? I can't make sense of it.

Mine isn't exactly accurate, anyway... especially after sitting still. I'd rather be rid of it and save a couple grams.  Just one explanation. |

No idea. I just know that it's about as reliable as the weather report.

Thats alright, after I installed my oil cooler on my 696 it is reading about 5-10 degrees hotter from the heat coming from the cooler. So yeah its basically useless.

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"
Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

Wait a minute... Outside air temp sensor? Um, you're riding a motorcycle, how the hell wouldn't you know if the outside air is cold or warm ~

i use my air temp during cold weather riding for possible road conditions. anything below about 34 or 36 i watch out for over/underpass icing. so there is a use.

There was supposed to be a secret way to unlock that function on the new monsters, but Ducati couldn't get it past the lawyers... |

Yep, I was gonna say the same, I wish I had that on my bike to know to watch for ice. 35 and 45 both feel really cold to me but there is a difference in what the road will be like. Having heated gear on makes it even harder to tell. |

I rode recently when it was about 35 degrees. It should just say "F'ing Cold!" at that temperature. Anything more than a few minutes of riding and you freeze.
