Zitat von Markj im Beitrag #1 I wish. That was the first thing that I asked my dealer when I saw the new TFT displays on the R1250GS and the F750/850GS models. No such luck, unfortunately. I would really love to have that new instrument display on my RS.

Are the TFT displays the same on all the R models? |
|
Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #5 It looks that way to me. However, I am not sure if it is the same on the RT, as I haven't seen a TFT on the 2019 RT yet. The TFT display also looks the same on the F750/850GS bikes, too.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #6 The RT did not get the new TFT display. Maybe there's a new restyle in the works for 2020 and it will get it then.

Here is an interesting discussion group on Facebook for TFT display connectivity issues, just in case you are wondering what you are missing with this new display.

I have TFT on my '18 GSA. It's been fantastic. I don't really care about all the connectivity features. I like the larger, legible display.

Zitat von Markj im Beitrag #10 I would like to know which Bavarian idiot thought that motorcyclists are more interested in the date than the time. The date font is twice the size of the time font, and is in a more prominent position. I can't ever remember riding along thinking 'what's the date today?' |

Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #11Zitat von Markj im Beitrag #10 That is typically what I think when I am getting out of bed in the morning. And now I also have to wonder what year it is.  Fortunately, the date display can be deleted if you spend enough time reading the owners manual and playing with the "setup" menu, following the "Customize display" instructions of the manual. But this assumes that your bike has the "Pro onboard computer". On the other hand, after reading that section of the owner's manual, you might want to just live with seeing the date displayed on your instrument panel.

Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #11Zitat von Markj im Beitrag #10 Are you talking about the current R1200RS dash? I have not been on the bike since November and don't remember the date showing on the main display.

Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #14 On my RS (2018 model), the date is one of the values you can select for the bottom of the screen, where you can have consumption, tyre pressure, temperature, style, etc. Don't worry, you can also correct your date format in the Setup section ;-) |
