Only time I have seen that happen is when I have lousy cell service, like in a parking garage.

Who cares about text messages while riding a motorcycle (or driving an auto)? Many times I do not even bring my stupid phone.

Low oil pressure? Now that's something to care about...

Meant to be funny, not critical...

CarPlay will never allow you to read text messages- although it rill read them to you.

CarPlay is great at reading text messages until you get one from UPS. It can take a full 10 minutes to read a few tracking numbers to you. A real treat with gloves that don't let you touch the screen to stop it. 🤣

Clearly the OP meant “hear” text messages. I have been in this situation many times with car play, both on the bike and in my car. Even when the signal was strong, if I had some sort of impediment like a parking garage or my own garage at times, I could experience this issue. Usually moving to a different spot solved the issue.

No, he meant read. He spells that out explicitly in a subsequent thread.

Lots of folk are frustrated at being unable to read texts while driving.

People shouldn't be reading texts while driving or riding anyway.

OP; Follow these steps:
1. Receive text notification
2. Pull over, off main roadway & stop
3. Shut bike off in safe location
4. Take out phone
5. Unlock & scroll through text messages.

You're welcome

JK...my phone stays locked in saddlebag until I stop for a break...unless emergency, not needed.
