"Special" opening ceremony on f6b?

[GiddyupF6B]

Can the f6b display your personal name on start up and turn off? My friends gl1800 does it and my manual walks you through the steps but it doesn't seem to work on the f6.....am I just doing it wrong?

Yes it can be done, I found it to be kind of a pain in the ass. It takes some time to figure it out.

After spending hours......well lets say some long minutes....(and yes the instructions in the manual are wrong)...I came up with this solution for mine.......hope it works for you.

Instructions for customizing the Opening/Ending Ceremony on a Honda F6B Gold Wing
The buttons on the dash are in parenthesis and the buttons with no parenthesis are on the display.

First of all the Opening/Ending Ceremony has to be set to “OFF”.

Here is how...

Push (Setup) then NEXT (Dim button).
Push OFF (Info button).
Push SET (Setup button)

That was easy now here is how to program the Opening/Ending Ceremony Display...

Push (Setup button) then NEXT (Dim).
Push and hold OFF (Trip button)
Push and hold SET (Info button)
Push SET (Setup button) while holding the other two buttons
Display will read....”SPECIAL”
Push SET (Setup) and make your changes.

Good Luck!!!

You sir nailed it!!!! Got it on the first shot with these directions! The manual is screwed up....it tells you to start wit the ceremony "on"....first mistake right there. Thank you!!!!!!

I wound up eliminating the ceremony altogether. Now, just a blank screen comes up when I turn on the key before the clock and radio display. I like it clean and withouy fanfare.

I don't remember how I changed it now. Mine says "Welcome av8rdave."

That's the best I could do, absent HAL's voice saying, "Dave, I can assure you I have the utmost enthusiasm for the mission."

Sure thing. The directions were wrong in my book as well. The opening ceremony must be turned off, not on as directed.

Worked just fine after that.
