Menu system missing items under "vehicle" 2016 R1200RT

Post by wichitagreg »

I don't understand why I don't have all the menu items under Settings Vehicle that is shown on my quick reference card.

My R1250RT does not have those options and I don't remember my old 2015 RT LC having them either, that menu looks like it comes from my previous bike a K1600GT, it had driving left/right headlight and ground light options.  I've never seen these on an RT but maybe there are options I have not had!  Hope that helps, Peter

I remember those options from the bike presentation at dealer when I collected mine. He asked me how I want things to be set up. But seriously I do not remember how he get to the settings  :not: 
It was a bit overwhelming that day. Now I'm curious how I can access that. Will check this evening probably.

I've got most of those on my 1250, except the headlight one. But they are not all under vehicle.

Maybe that's the point. He run through all the menus one by one, so I can't tell where they are really sit.
Definitely will check it

Most of the stuff is set once and you never visit again. But they all sit either under vehicle or user, can't say its going to keep me awake at night :)

Agree with that. Since I bought the bike I even did not thinking about it as all is working as I expecting be
The most important setting for me (heated grips) I have assigned to quick access button. Rest of the stuff is less important and can wait until I stop.

Hmmm, heated grips on the quick access. Good idea. I have the ride suspension on mine. Highways "soft" but when I hit bad secondary roads, i go "Normal".

Everyone have their own preferences. And that's the great thing about that quick access button. Can be programmed for my needs.

Also I checked yesterday menu. And some bits are under vehicle. Some under user. But they are there definitely in 1250

I use the quick access button to access trip meter. Then reset the trip meter when I fuel up. I don't trust fuel gauges!

I think the K1600 and K1200LT have(had?) a courtesy light that shone down on the ground for a short time after you shut the bike down.
