    Default miles to kilometers ?

    Somehow my F3 got on Kilometers. I am reading the book but for the life of me I can not get it to change back. Can someone walk me thru button for button. I must be missing something.

    Default control ?

    Anyone had problems with the control not working. The tech at the dealer set it for me when he demoed it. Seems like he might have a hard time setting some of the info.

    The instructions in the manual seem simple enough. Where are you getting stuck?

    DisplaySettings
    SettingMetric/Imperial Units
    1. Push and hold SET button on the
    RECC for three seconds.
    2. Push _down arrow_ to select KM,
    push up arrow to select MI.

    I am having a hard time just getting to the screen and when I do it doesn't work. I thing I am doing what the book says but missing something. I am beginning to believe it's time for a visit to the dealer.

    I hope you figure it out, I know how frustrated you must be. Back when I first started riding I was on a GS and somehow when I went to reset the trip meter I changed to kilometers. I was with a group of Harley VRods and was freaking out not knowing how fast I was going. I kept pushing buttons and finally managed to get it back to mph.

    The other day a lady posted on Facebook that she was getting error codes on her RS. She downloaded MySpyder app but her code was only 2 digits 12 and 24. Turns out she had gotten into the clock settings and it was asking her if she wanted a 12 hour or 24 hour clock.

    Remember. (And this is strange) The down is your upper button shaped like a downward arrow. (I went nuts
    trying to get my temp to revert back to "F" vs "C" after playing around)

    Once you're there; just use the up or down button to pick which one you want.
    Tap "MOde" again; to exit and save your settings...
    Wrong instructions Bob.

    I'm not sure...
    He's got an F-3; are they the same as for the RS? the ST? The RT? or something completely different?
    (I was guessing with the RT instructions, and should have mentioned that! )

    In post 4 I copied the instructions directly from the F-3 owner's manual. That looks like the same procedure as a RS.

    Different models seem to work a bit different. The GS/RS gave me fits every time I wanted to change something.

    The RT's seem to be very straight forward.

    Don't have the F3 manual handy--but if it is not working per the manuals information, then I would suggest a trip to the dealer. If its you, and not the control cluster, it should take about five minutes of the persons time. They can chalk it up to customer service/training.

    Let us know when you get it reset. Meanwhile--you can enjoy taking your F3 up over 100. 100 kph = about 62 mph.

    The printed instructions are not very clear.

    This is the quick guide original, If you follow it as a step by step, you will always get Km:






    A quick and dirty Photoshop shows how it should read:




    If you have the mileage display selected on the Speedo, you will see it change.

    You are genius. The internet is full of people having trouble changing from KMH to MPH. The MANUALS are all wrong!!!
    This is how to do it and it works.
    Good job CanAmChris

    A easy way of determining mph speed from Kilometers is take Kilometers times .6. example 50 kilometers would be 30 mph. actual is 31 but for quick conversion it gets you in the ball park.
