Yours has been the most complete, straightforward and ultimately most helpful! Now I know how to display the analog gas gauge on the top line display! Have you done a similar video on the BMW Connected app?

    Thanks for the video. The RT is a wonderful bike! I was sad to move from the older version of the instrument panel - I really liked the "live data" feature (1 second MPG indication) to see what cruise control was doing. And it responded far faster. But the other functionality of the new is nice.

    Agreed it’s a fantastic machine but it’s not perfect like all other bikes. One of the best things that happen to this bike is periodic software updates. If we as a community keep suggesting features via Connected app you may get more features added to show on the display. I’ll be posting a video outlining some feature adds I hope it gets shared enough for BMW to notice it. Thanks for taking time to comment. Please consider subscribing 😊

    I don’t own this bike but I do have a K1600. Dynamic damping doesn’t mean it adjusts. Dynamic in BMW terms means sport mode usually. Unless they changed something with this bike it just means it’s going to be a stiffer ride. So if you see dynamic that means it will be set up stiffer or throttle will be more sporty. Like the cruise control had comfortable or dynamic. Meaning it will accelerate leisurely or fast.

    Great presentation! Thank you. You are much more familiar with the TFT settings and functions than my dealer. I recently purchased a 2022 BMW K1600B Grand America about a month ago. I cannot figure out how to make the Navigation "Spoken Instructions" work when in map mode. Can you please tell me if you are using an Iphone? It looks like it in the video, but I want to be sure. I have the "Spoken Instructions" marked yes in both the Navigation settings and in the BMW Motorrad Connected app settings. Oddly enough, I was able to get the "Spoken Instruction" to work when I am not in map mode. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I don’t think BMW got it wrong. The GPS won’t tell you to turn right because the road is turning itself, no choice to make there. It will show you which way to turn when you have to make a choice. The instructions on the right matches with the arrow on the path shown where the other road meets the blue line and you have to now choose to make a turn. In this case it’s left. All GPS systems work the same way. Hope this clarifies the guidance system.
