Hi, my name is Jamie and I have NO CLUE what a Supertenere is :)

[toysareforboys]

Such a strange name Supertenere, no clue what kinda Yama it is

I saw a lot of people were having trouble changing their Supertenere's from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and in most locations Yamaha locks out people from changing this!!! BASTARDS! Here was the post: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=5458.msg126945#msg126945

I get a little upset at Yamaha sometimes, their bikes can be SO great but either due to emissions, sound restrictions, liability, etc. etc. they really restrict the ECU's!! I bought equipment to re-write Yamaha ECU's for 06+ R6 and 07+ R1, I call it "removing the training wheels"

. I do a lot of ECU's from France as well, where they (the government I guess) restrict the Yamaha R1 to only 106HP, instead of the factory 160! nutty.

I'm a Yamaha fan. I've owned an 08 R6, 09 R6S and just picked up an 07 R1

It's mostly my street bike, but I take it on the track a bit too! Hopefully I get on the track more this year

Well that makes you our most 'differentest' (new word for the day) member Jamie M. I Like your choice of weapon though ::008:: Where on earth did you pick up the thread about changing the temperature format?

...no, they don't...

I can change mine from "C" to "F" in seconds.

Thanks I was searching for "Yamaha change Celsius to Fahrenheit" in hope that possibly some other brands of their bike has some super secret trick to do it! lol.

I just got back from a dealer that brings bikes from the USA to Canada and wanted to change the F to C, but it only worked on 2 of his 8 bikes! In his case, if you went into diagnostics and the D62 code was 0, you're screwed. If the code was 2 then you could cycle the kill switch to get it to 1 and voila, Celsius

...no, they don't... I can change mine from "C" to "F" in seconds.

Consider yourself lucky

That's what I was thinking. I know my R1 can do this and the FJR too. Maybe US bikes are unique in this regard?

It's mostly the USA versions of R1's and R6's I have problems changing. 07 and up R1's and 08 and up R6's

In regards to the mere 106hp on our S10s. Sure they can produce more like they do in R1s etc but not at the expence of loosing valuable bottom end torque, thank you. I'll take big torque over big HP if it means loosing that lovely 6th gear roll on grunt right where I want it for every day riding. Don't forget the Clutch Switch Mod for even more GRUNT! ::26::

...what REDCAT said...

The OP said that R1s in France were restricted to 106 HP instead of the 160 HP available elsewhere.
I don't think the R1 has a Touring Mode though. So the S10 has got that all over 'em in the power department!
