New One On Me - IPK Speed Warning

e30325itourer · 23rd December 2016, 13:37

You can set it too any speed you want. Your mechanic must be knowledgeable with 75s. It was probably set at 140 mph which will never be seen.

The rear sunblind tends to get very little use, so it's worth running it up and down now and again to stop it getting gummed up.

I would like to set my ipk to 30, I can get it to disay 0, I assume you then press the stalk to adjust in 10 mph increments but my display just goes blank?

I just learned something about the speed warning .. you can turn off the alert ..

from the handbook

Overspeed (‘Speed limit’)*
The overspeed warning function is an aid to keeping within
speed limits set by the driver. Press and hold the trip computer
button to increase the set speed by increments of 5 mph (5
km/h). Whenever the set speed is exceeded an audible
warning will sound and the set speed will be displayed in the
message centre.
Once a speed has been set, the warning can be turned on or
off by BRIEFLY pressing the trip reset button (this will not
reset the trip meter).
Warning messages
A warning message will override the trip computer display. If
a warning message is received while the trip computer is in
use, the trip feature will be replaced by the warning message.
Pressing the trip computer button (on the end of the left-hand
column stalk) will return the display to the trip computer
feature that was active before the warning message was
received.
If the fault responsible for the warning message continues to
exist, the trip computer will time out every 20 seconds and
the warning message will be displayed again.

Interestingly the data sent to the IPK, on the" Overspeed" seems to be more accurate than the speedo.

So, if your "over speed" bongs at 70mph, your speedo is probably reading around 75 mph.

There is two sets of data sent via the IPK. You can check it via 7.3 and 7.4 in diagnostics mode.
The over speed warning, which collects data the same as the odometer, is more accurate than the speedo which over reads by roughly around 10%

He is.

He does joke that my issues with my 1.8s over the years turned him into an expert on them, but in truth, he's forgotten more about them than I'll ever know.
