You might have accidentally switched the meter over to reading kilometers rather than miles.... pretty easy to do.

10500 mi. = 16898.112 km so i agree with RJ2112. Just hold the SELECT buton for about 2 seconds and it will switch back.

Sweet pickles batman - you guys were right on. I must have done that after unplugging the battery the other day to install a USB power supply. Thanks

The symptom is most noticeable when you pull away from a gas station in town, and find your speedometer is telling you you're doing 60+ in a 45 MPH zone, and traffic is pulling away from you.....

THEN you notice the KPH :spank:

THEN you sit somewhere trying to figure out what button to poke to make it 'right'

Once I thought my bike was running real cool, like frosty cool. I was thinking "Shouldn't it say low if it's 90 degrees?!?!" DUH!

Try being in the opposite situation. Changed the speedo in a sports car I used to own to mph from kmph without realizing. Found myself doing 100mph on a 100Km\hr road. I was wondering why everyone was driving so slow.
