Changing from KPH to MPH on 2009 TE 250

I know this sounds like a wierd question but how do you switch from KPH to MPH on the display? I followed the directions in the manual but it is not working. I know the translation in the manual can be a little off in a few places. Just curious what others did.

Thanks

Also, I got the enduro engineering brush guards and P3 boot and heat shield installed today. Some said the brush guards would take some modification but the kit I got went right on.

Here's the setup that worked for me which was taken from another thread here on the forum "Turn the key off. Hold down the display button while turning the key on. Keep the button held down until KPH shows up on the display, then let go of the button. After a few seconds it will alternate between KPH and MPH for a few seconds each, press the button when it is on MPH." And as they say... If that doesn't work, pull in the clutch, stand on your head, spin around, push a few buttons and sing the 3rd verse of Oh Come All Yee Faithful, and it MIGHT work. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

I've got a 07 TE250 which doesn't have a key. So do I need to figure out the third verse of Come All Yee Faithful?

(seriously - any tips on how to do the changeover?)

having trouble changing a 2009 over to miles per hour myself.could someone walk me thru it please?thanx,dan

I mounted up the stock trip computer on my WR144 and it worked ok in KPH format. At the time I switched it I had over 80 Km's on the odometer. I reset it and it went to 30 miles. It reads fairly accurate mph as compared to my gps unit. They are always within about mph and jive with what the gearing chart says speeds should be. My whole trip down south the odometer added up miles at about 60% of actual mileage. I did the trip mileage both on the gps and on my Spot tracking page and while the spot only sends a track point every 10 minutes and then determines mileage by connecting the dots on google earth it was still about 20% more than the mileage indicated on the computer and yet the speed is good. I am baffled. I should never have changed it. Also if you do not have a battery it resets the ride trip to 0 every time you stop. I am in the market for a trail tech Vapor or Vector now.

I got mine to MPH by just switching the key and skipping the "start the bike instruction"
