Temp gauge - farenheit??????

Just looked at the temperature gauge on my 916....it's in farenheit.

I've got a 1997 916, are these US clocks? or are they all like this?

It really depends on what bits they had in stock when they made your bike. (no joke!)

Ducati have always thrown whatever is in the parts bins onto bikes their building, I had the same with my 1975 750 sport, you never ever saw two the same.

I thought they were all like that to satisfy the US market(?)

You might notice "55mph" in red on your speedo too... again, to keep our american friends happy.

I can't see how it makes a difference. The normal operating temperature is the same on both gauges - the midpoint: 80°C = 180°F

Makes no difference to riding the bike, but imagine the conversation...

Bill - "My bike got up to 210 degrees F in the traffic today, is that normal?"
Ben - "What's 210 degrees F?"
Bill - "Dunno!"
Ben - "Your round mate, mine's a G&T"

Sorry to start all this...

It was my initial paranoia that I have been sold an import (yes....I know they are all imports - from Italy) or a machine that had had the clocks changed including the odometer, therefore the milage would be 'slightly' out.

Paranoia over...thanks for your comforting words of wisdom
(would still prefer it in celsius tho'...I'm a scientist, so prefer SI units)
