[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1448914, member: 19880"] Same on all Gen II. There is an "instantaneous" MPG readout that is almost useless except to show you how bad fuel consumption is under heavy acceleration or going uphill (updates every few seconds). The average MPG (since last reset) is more useful for sure. As I mentioned before, after a certain point, the readout is more of a running average for the last 300 miles or so, not since it was reset. (Older data gets dropped out.) I make a point of resetting one of my trip odometers and the average MPG every time I refill the tank. Oh, if there was ever any question if the bike is truly metric... The average fuel consumption readout updates every kilometer on bikes destined for markets other than the US. The readout on a US bike is updated every 0.621... miles - exactly one kilometer.
