Km to Mph for 04' GG 450FSE

[Crankin04]

Anybody know how to change from Kilometers to Miles-per-hour for 04' GG? Thought it was something with a chip upgrade on the display but apparently not.

Thanks,

-Chris

Copied from the manual.

You can download it here:

To change to kilometers per hour or miles per hour:
- Disconnect the battery. (the total distance will be saved).
- Re-connect the battery whilst holding down either button and it will
read either;
met -- for km/h
mil --- for mp/h
- The white plastic block connector on the speedo is for the display
backlight.
- The red wire is positve.
- The black wire is negative.
- Warning; your speedo is set for the diameter of your front wheel
enduro 21"
supermoto 17"
If you get the display to read "a 00" then you are in the rolling radius
changing mode. you can "trim" the speed to run fast or slow.
It ranges from "a-25" to "a 25".
NOTE
Standard setting is "a 00", we recommend you keep it at that.

I have an 05, and that did not work for me.......anyone else try that?

Keep trying, it works

Does that work for ealier years also? (03?)

 

[Brian VT]

It works on my '03.

Yes, keep trying!

I don't know about the second section i.e. match ing tire size etc. But disconnecting then reconnecting the battery while holding the button worked on my '05 FSE.
Also, if you don't already have a Battery Tender wired on the bike - Do It Now, my plug is ty-wrapped to the frame, just inside the air box door so it's quick and easy to access which is important on a bike that NEEDS to live on life support (maybe it doesn't IF you can ride it often). Perhaps someday I'll look into adding a switch to turn off the speedo, etc. and the battery will last more than two weeks, kind of busy right now so it gets ignored, and doesn't like that much.

Also the battery tender keeps your battery fresh thru the winter. If U don't use one during this weather period U will be buying a new one. Ask me how I know.

Well, after my second attempt, I actually did get MPH to register on my speedo. Next question is, does the ODO still read in Km., or does that switch with it? I'm thinking it stays in Km., but not sure. It would just be nice to know if my bike has 500 Km.s or 500 miles on it for examle.......

Yes. Once U do the km to miles switch everything becomes miles. I hope U have or if not, order the riders manual that comes with the bike. It's helpful on all that stuff.
