GSX-R thou speedo in kmh?

Could some please explain how I get the speedo to read in Kmh? I don't
have a handbook and coming back through Ireland from Belfast I needed
to change it but couldn't work it out. I wouldn't mind knowing for the
future, or until I find a handbook.

Bear says...

I tried that cos I remembered that's how R1's were, it didn't work.

 

Shit in the carbs.

 

Ginge says...

I would, but it's an injection system.

 

I can't remember but it involved pressing/holding one or both of the
buttons on the panel after the check was complete IIRC

My bike has very little that is rectangular, and nothing that I can see
that is chromed....thankfully.

You are a man of poor taste. I've often thought that.

Anyway. It makes changing the speedo reading very simple. Watch:

<Press>

See?

I only have to:

<press and hold>
<press other button>

I win.

What are you on about, you silly man. I was merely demonstrating the
innate superiority of my two-wheeled conveyance. I can change the speedo
with a single press. Observe:

<Press>

There. *Now* do you see? I can increase the pressure in the front
suspension with another press:

<Press>

Or decrease the pressure in the rear suspension with a mere two more:

<Press>
<Press>

Don't make me deploy the cupholders. Don't make me. I will, you know.

From Bike, Dec '92 ... [1,2,3]

"Voyager is the most and therefore, by my reckoning, the best.
Brilliant thought the Wing is, it's a tug to this gin palace, unable
to compete with its chunky gadgets and chromed overkill. By any
objective standards the Wing is the ultimate grand tourer, but the
Voyager has bits - chrome bits, illuminated bits, on-off bits, where
the Honda is a sleek whole.

that impresses everyone who knows nothing about grand tourers (like
me). "


[1] Voyager 12, but the principle holds, imo.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Piss in the tank.

 

My K4 book says:

"NOTE: Set the meter to odometer then press and hold buttons, 4 and 5,
for 2 seconds to change between km/h and mph. (UK only)"

If it's any good, you can borrow the manual

 

Oh yes, buttons 4 and 5 are the Adjust and select buttons, sorry!

 

Black Mike says...

Thanks Mike, I have found out how to do it now via another place and
someone else is sending me a K1 handbook they got with their race bike.

 

Okey dokey doggy daddy

 

Really?
