Hi
I just noticed a massive increase in my mileage and speediness of bike ( miraculously accompanied by an increased wind by my wind shield. I have just noticed that I am now working in KM not Miles.
I tried the fix on another topic but all this has led to a flashing odometer showing varying numbers of 0 ( Zeros) and any combination of ignition, adjust and the button on the left grip does nothing to help.
Any suggestions as to how I can restore myself to mikes and normal readouts?
I am out of town without my manual just to add to the fun.

Thanks

Mark

Mine changes by holding down the adjust button, think you need to have the milometer on display, not trips or mpg

Thanks to you both.
I watched a you tube video
Which gave a full answer which puzzling contained the things I had tried.
As ever though, after watching they actually worked and I am back to MPG .
Phew all good
Thanks again
Mark

Pheew!  :whistle: close call there the BREXIT police would have been after you.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.

You aren't done yet. You have USA settings that will show Fahrenheit temperature and US gallons. Go to the mpg display and cycle to IMP gallons on the display.

So that was the video rather than the bike in question. That's different.
