kore Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Ok...here's the question...Canadian FJ-09. I have read that I CAN'T change the speedometer to MPH. Sounds like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I can SEE the MPH on the display next to the KPH. So, is it possible to change it??? Huge pain in the a$$ riding across the border and not being able to switch it. My old Street Triple could. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 With the bike on (doesn't have to be running) hold the menu button down for a few seconds. I think it's in the "units" section. Use the page up and down buttons to navigate and the menu button to select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kore Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Similar menu. Under the Units options, though, I can only change from l/100km to km/l...no other options. F'ing lame of Yamaha to do that. Allow the US model to change from MPH to KMH...but not allow the Canadian version to do the opposite. Dangerous, if you ask me...having to keep that always on your mind when riding across the border.

It didn't seem to cause a problem and the locals seemed to adopt a similar speed. Swiss registered Mercedes seemed to adopt a x2 factor.

Been like that on all Canadian bikes forever; bikes with digital displays 16 years ago only in metric. Buy a set of US gauges for the bike and it plugs and plays, and can be switched from metric to imperial and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kore Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Makes me angry. The 2013 Triumph Street Triple R I just traded for the Yamaha allowed me to do it...easy peasy...crappy!!! Oh well...find a US gauge, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well...find a US gauge, I guess. surely not too difficult to remember what the US speed limits equate to in kph? using a satnav with a speed reading might be less problematic, cheaper and overall, more useful than going to the expense of buying a new instrument cluster.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted July 19, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 19, 2015 On my Cali model, I can change from MPH to KPH. Maybe the Canadian models can not. Under menu, Maintenance, Unit, I have the option of KM or mile. As you can see, KM is selected which pulls up a submenu selection for km/L or L/100km. Oops, just read that this is already discovered.

I have not received any french letters since my return? Spent the weekend in Hungary. Their logic seems to be like this: Speed limit = 130kph, speedo over reads by 10%(13kph), the police operate on a 10% margin, so 130+13+(143*10%)=157kph indicated.
