Is LCD on Gen II capable of imperial or metric units?

[spike747]

I thought I read somewhere here that the LCD info on the Gen II was able to do Fahrenheit or Celsius on the outside temperature. Is this true and if so how do you switch between the two?

Does that apply to the MPG or L/100 km mileage as well as the odometer in miles or kilometers?

I'm in the market to get a bike in the US, but would like units in metric on the dash. I'm OK with the small km/h display on the speedometer. I'm actually hoping to find a new face to replace it with. But it would be nice to have the LCD stuff in metric.

No it doesn't in the Gen 11. Not required for Canadian RIV import either though.

I bought a 2007 out of the USA and I also tried to determine whether the odometer could be switched from imperial to metric. I didn't have any luck. I don't know whether the US instrument cluster is fundamentally different, whether there is something like a different EPROM or possibly even a DIP switch setting. Anyway, I didn't take it any further and have gotten pretty good at the mental arithmetic for conversions. If the LCD part of the cluster could be converted to metric, I would be very interested - I wont pay the $1,000 or so that Yamaha wants for a new cluster. On the Gen I bikes, you can easily switch between imperial and metric modes.

Gen I switches easily back and forth, gen II does not, stuck with how it was made.

Oh NO, another item for the Gen I'rs to gloat about how much better they are over Gen II :dribble:

It's too bad the Gen I dash looks so dated.
