Switching speedo reading to KPH from MPH
« on: 03 December 2012, 11:45:15 am »
hi all!

Been lurking for a year now and I have gotten away with not registering because if I do I know I'll get suckered into posting shite every week!  :rollin So here we go!!

I've had my Fazer for 1.5 years now. I'm living in Ireland. The bike originally came from the UK. It has a KPH face on it. 0-220kph I think. But it is reading in mph!! Weird. It is pointing at 100kph but I am travelling near on 100mph.

I seen this post a while ago and it got me thinking - "cos mine's an import bike and it has a special gizmo hidden in the connector box under the tank that converts KM to Miles by transmitting 5 pulses out of every 8. The speedo reads only MPH but has an "MPH" sticker over the original "KPH". It reads up to 220MPH!"

Is there a way I can switch my bike back to pointing at KPH? Any tutorials online on it?

Not sure if you've already had a look at this?
