"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.

Well, if there's ever an argument over which one is mine, just turn the key and see who she thinks is her owner!

It obviously VERY difficult to change, even if you know it CAN be changed.
I was very frustrated the first few times, but I finally settled into a groove, knew what I wanted and got 'er done.
Wasn't going to let a chip kick my a$$.

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!!!

Weird. My manual walked me right through it no problem.

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.

Me, too. Who needs any ceremony other than the beautiful sound of starting the engine and getting ready to hop on?

For a few seconds of egocentric stroking, my effort in programming the thing also wasn't worth the reward.

I have mine say "Briggs' Papa"
My 3 year old grandson Briggs loves it when he sees his name and Papa come across the screen.
To see him get so excited about something that we may think is no big deal is worth any hassle and a great reason for it to be on there.
