Question about speedo km/h-mph

[hoop71]

Hello too everyone

First post and I have a question.

I am considering purchasing an FZ6 but have a question about the speedometer. Can all of the speedometers 2004-2009 be switched back and forth between km/h and mph?

I am thinking about purchasing one in the US because it is much cheaper but would like the versatility of switching to km/h

All those in the US can you let me know if this is possible. As well is it a feature on all years of production?

I thought I had read this feature was only available in the UK?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Dan

I have a 2006 which has the same gauge cluster. I found out last week you can switch to KM from MPH. I was fiddling with it at a red light and when I took off it was showing speed in KM.

I know you can switch back and forth on the 07 to 09's. Not sure about the older models.

You can change it on a 06.

US FZ6's can change from MPH>KPH>MPH.
Canadian FZ6's can not. Canucks have to install a Speedohealer to get this feature.

You are correct on this. My Canadian 06 does not change between kmh /mph

That is cause you are not in the right Vancouver!!! j/k

Being Aussie we only care about KPH so I cant help you but :welcome: to the forum all the same

my canadian 06 can do it you have to hold one of those buttons down for a few seconds

I have two U.S. 04-06 speedos & both change from mph to kph by holding down the select button for 4 seconds. when you unplug them from the bike or disconnect the battery they reset to the default mph setting.you can also change the readout to a digital tachometer,checkout if all your sensors are working correctly, tune your fuel injection enrichment settings in the ecu all from the speedo.

Thanks for all the quick replies.

I figured most models would be capable of switching but I just wanted to confirm.

Are you sure about that...? Which button are you holding down?
I've held each button for a few seconds (and longer) and nothing happens.
Are you certain your FZ6 is a Canadian model?

I have a 2007 which I bought in Seattle and imported into Canada. Hold the select button down until it changes. Works fine.
