I have tried afew times and go out and mess with it every now and then to see if I'm doing something different. Read & reread the manual. I did a search.. What is the routine to get the speedometer to read mph instead of kph on a 09 te450? Scroll to the right window on the speedometer, pull the clutch in, hold the button down, use my forearm to hit the starter button... the thing doesn't go from kp/h to mph WTH?!?
Good luck, Riksha. I went through the same thing with my 09’ and was getting so frustrated not having 3 hands to do what the manual stated. I ended up holding the button down on the trip computer and cycling the key and somehow got it to work. I wish I knew exactly what I did but at that point I was so pissed off I was just pulling levers and pushing buttons and swearing a lot. All I remember is that you do not need to start the engine (I think). I will try to duplicate and post if I luck out and get it right. Sorry not much help but I feel your pain.
Have the display set to speed and ODO. 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. Yeah, did that whole hand, foot, and knee thing too. When they say "Start", they simply mean turn the key to On. Chris
That's the key right there. If you start the engine the computer locks it self into what ever mode it is in. Oh yeah it's helpful to have a pet octopus, a well trained one, to help with the initial set-up.
Found this on TT http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330436 Has a lot of info on this subject. Perhaps we should keep it in a sticky?
Wow... Man I had my wife out there handling the start button, I had the clutch pulled in, finger on the speedometer, looking at my wife tellin her the italians were having a good laugh right now.... Thanks all. Walked out there with the right info and it took ten seconds...Dang
This is from the TE 610 service manual (2006) but you may find much of it applies to other models. It's a better English translation than most.

This thread needs some diagrams of the instrument cluster. It is a bit hard to follow for dubm people like me that need all the help the can get.
OK but that may take some time because dumb people like me have to figure out how to take full pages with images, one at a time out of a pdf file and post directly to a website without going to a clipboard and word document.
And this morning my laptop died and I'm limping along on a PC with an 8GB drive which does not have the 610 workshop manual nor can I install an extremely handy program called 'screen grab' which is a plugin for firefox. Only takes a small bit of space but we are down to the last 200KB on the hard disk. While you are downloading things find Iranview - super handy photo editing program. We may need to work on this later.
No, I may not know what I'm doing but I'm pretty creative about finding the hard way there, give me a few minutes.
Ok you're right I'm going to have to do this later. I figured out how to get full page print with images on excel and I'm pretty sure if I send them to my E-Mail that I will be able to copy and paste into the Cafe posting window but I have to send them to me via outlook which I don't use and the wife isn't here to tell me what the pass word for out look is. Can't say I didn't try.
I have a question for anyone with a '08 TE. My clock is showing up in Military time but my odometer reads in MPH. Does anyone know how to change the clock? When I reach clock I can hold down mode and get to set it but I do not see how to get it over to normal time. Thanks.
OOOhhhhh, I wouldn't mind that problem. Sorry, I've seen no mention of that in the 09 manual. Update; Now that I am actually looking at the manual, it ONLY shows that it is 24 hour clock. From the manual... "CLOCK: clock - Reading from 0:00 to 23:59:59;"
Ha.....! I was doing the same thing. Had my wife turning the key, starting the bike...... damn italians.
