roadwarrior Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi all, One week with the new the GT and I'm loving it! One problem though, the Wheel Switch doesn't seem to op be operating correctly. I can scroll up and down through the various dash information display items. However, I can't seem to reset anything, access the heated grips or the menu. Short push, long push nothing seems to work. Either I'm losing my mind or the wheel is defective. I had to travel about three hours to get the bike and I'd hate to go back (although it's a nice ride) for something silly. Am I missing anything? When the manual says push, it's a push towards the dash or inwards toward the switch box right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Most of us havent seen that option yet, I would drop by the dealer. Please come back and let us know what happens. Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Mine works ok but I don’t like it very much. Easy to scroll past the option you want and click not very positive and can scroll on when trying to select. Almost impossible to use accurately with right thumb when on the move.

jmackd1 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 i was playing around with the wheel switch this morning on the way to work, seems to work as advertised, turned on the heated grips by scrolling to the grip icon on the dash , it started blinking , pushed the wheel switch in, it brought up a heat level indicator on the dash...

roadwarrior Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Are you playing with the wheel / buttons while stopped?Stopped, moving, starting, park mode, kick stand up, kick stand down, etc... Crazy, can't get the thing to work. Going for a ride tonight with some friends so I'll see if any of them can get it to work. Otherwise I guess I'll be taking a 3 hour trip back to the dealer I bought the bike from B-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ok this is weird too. When I scroll to the heated grip menu on the dash, the heated grip icon doesn't blink. Are you saying when you scroll to the icon, it starts blinking? Or does it start blinking [em]after[/em] you push the wheel switch?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmackd1 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yes, you scroll to it without pushing anything, then push in the wheel and it brings up heat level indicator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peripateticmike Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yeah mine works "as designed". I agree and I don't like the design of it, when trying to select whatever you trying to it's too easy for the wheel to turn while pushing in and selecting the next screen instead.

gerdawg Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I actually like the scroll wheel personally. After you get used to it the awkwardness subsides. I don't typically use it much as I have Trip a and used gas always on the screen.. Which is the most important stat to me. I imagine I'll keep heat highlighted in the cooler months. 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 what does the owners manual say? 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Now done just over 2k mile on the GT now, I like the wheel and haven't had any issues using it. However, I can't understand how/ when the fuel used number gets re-set. It doesn't seem to be a rider option (Full disclosure: I'm a Male, therefore I haven't read the manual, only flicked through it). I think it re-sets automatically when the fuel tank is empty, but who lets that happen? Can anyone who has taken the time to read the manual help?
