[BACA]

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!!!!!!

Glad I could help!
Ride Safe!

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.

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!!!

I found an easy way. I gave my wife the directions and said I bet you can't figure this out. I was surprised when she can in from the garage in less than 5 minutes and said all done!!!

The only thing is mine now says Welcome Jen & Mike...in that order!

I must admit. That was great thinking on your part. Clearly showing that we are the dominant gender...

Aren't we???

That very funny and no doubt true.

I need to go ask my wife if she can find miscellaneous stuff that's sitting right in front of my face. Lol.

Try the manuals method, as well as the BACA way (listed above in this thread).

One of them should work. Difference being whether or not you start with the Honda Ceremony on or off to begin with.

If not, have your wife, girlfriend, sister, aunt, mother or neighbors wife give it a go.

Then you can share your embarrassment in our poormansDNA syndrome, aka, the weaker sex!!!!!

See, I don't consider myself the weaker sex. I used my superior supervisor skills to get someone else to figure it out while I enjoyed a cold beer and watched a football game. The only problem was I had to wait for her to finish so she could make some snacks!!!
