Hello All,

I have looked on speedohealer.com and wanted to see first if i could do it any alternative way. Any help appreciated as i want to ride it to work as Public transport is very, very frustrating!

Before you do that...

I know this works on my Daytona and it works on my mates K3 SV650 -- you have buttons for trip computer on your dash, yeah? Try holding these down in various combination on my daytona holding down the select button for a few seconds changes the speedo between imperial and metric along with the odometer.

I'm assuming that new gixxers have digital speedos?

Just checked my Daytona -- and the select button held down switches between miles and km on the first push and deg C and F on the second.

My mate with the K3 gixxer thou is not around at the mo, but I'm sure if you have a digital speedo that this'll work.

Let us know how you get on.

You can certainly change the digital speedo readout from MPH to KPH by pressing the buttons on the UK spec bikes, so I would assume that you can do it vice versa on european spec bikes too. I don't know the exact procedure off the top of my head for a Suzuki (cos I have a Yamaha), but my mate knows how to change it on his GSXR600 K4.
