My gixer has a digital speedo, and only reads mph.
As a general rule of thumb, to convert km to miles - divide by 10, multilpy by 6.
So, 100km/h is roughly 60mph.
Personally, my mental arithmetic is shit at the best of times, so i'm going to make up a little sticker of the main speed limit equivalents and stick it by my clocks.

Get you manual out there will be a way of changing it to kmh.

And klause you used to be able to buy generic mph stickers for imports, just stick them in a different place for kmh. Thumbs Up

I tend to convert the limits on a 1kph to 1mph basis, a lot easier than multiplying by 0.61.

If you're worried though, just remember the basic stuff like 50kph limit = 30mph more or less, 130kph = 85mph more or less etc.

I thought for the digital speedos you just pushed the button in for about 5 seconds or so and it automatically changed?

And the same to change it back Question
