Speedo reads KMPH not MPH...RTFM!
 

Hello.
Just got back home from collecting my Tenere.
I've had a read of the owners manual :icon_study: to go about changing the speedometer to read in MPH, so no RTFMs please.:icon_mrgreen:

It say's to turn the ignition to 'ON', then press the 'SELECT' but for two seconds. But, after doing this, not change is visible and the clock still reads in KMs.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Timpo.

ok before you do that make sure the speedo is displaying the ODO reading and not the TRIP, that normally does it on the XTX/XTR, unless they've used a different software on the diag.

ODO reading and trip are displayed on the same screen.

I've just had my Sarah RTFM to me and I have done exactly as described with no joy???

Timpo.

Do you have any way of scanning the User Manual that was given to you with the bike for me to have a look at? You have to appreicate I have yet to have my hands on one of these bikes and I hate to think that they sold you an European import bike, because all UK bikes should display both KHM and Miles. Have a word with your dealer.

We've had this problem before with other users that bought a bike from Holland or France and found that they can only use the KHM on their diag.

Sorry, I don't have a scanner.

I have noticed that after the key is put into 'ON' position and the system check goes through the motions, there is 'miles' displayed above the 'kms' on the LCD display.

I'll give my dealer a call in the morning and let you know how I get on....

Hi Timpo

Had exactly the same problem with my XTZ when I picked it up, Yamaha didn't know how to get around it, my dealer fixed it by turning the key to the off position, holding down both buttons whilst turning the ignition back on, that enabled him to choose the MPH setting, so good luck with that, hope your enjoying your XTZ as much as I am mine.

Gotan, your the man...... It worked a treat.:notworthy[1]:

So, 'The Manual' is not correct, that means RTFM is a load of sh!t.......:eusa_liar:

Capt Moto, is this worth a sticky as other Zed-heads may need to know this info......

Timpo.

Stick'o pronto!!

Thanks guys
 

its nice to be of service to someone.
by the way, have managed to sort out my dip stick oil leak by putting two O rings on it and the leak has stopped, but also got a call from the dealers today saying that they have a recall on the XTZ because of the leak and have a new part (dip stick) ready to put on it. So far Ive done about 200 miles on it and loved every minute of it, best fun I have had in years.

Tricky speedo
 

Picked the xt660z yesterday only to find that it would work on kmph. Even the dealer couldn't sort it. Well after trawling the posts I found the advice on this thread and it worked a treat.

Cheers, I'll pass it back to the dealer so that they can sort it for anyone else who might suffer with same issue.

:SpinHappy_15XK8L:

When I picked my Z'ed up I asked the dealer if they had fixed the problem with the dip stick and he said thet it had been sorted. They have made a stick with less thread length! That's all!
PD has anyone else had a problem with the welding on the sidestand spring? Mine was crap and I welded it myself, but if yours breaks 'on the go' the switch on the stand will kill the engine and couls possibly put you in a dangerous situation. Just an idea but worth a look. I also found myself using the round wire part to kick the stand down, I personally shall be making something much stronger. Should be getting the bike back from Metal Mule next week and plan to try and meet up with more Teneherics.
Another plan is to organise a meet up at Dent in the Northern Dales as I have organised meets ther before and it's Gods own country for these sorts of bikes. I have had interest from the Thumper club, Honda owners club and some persons in the BMW owners club. Sometime at the mid - end of October and I'll bring the marquee. I'll post dates when things start to come together.Anyone interested?
:campfire:

that was my first mod:
ignition off
pressing 2 buttons
turning ignition on (button still pressed)
kph/mph icon flashes

presse select to select your unit, then press reset.

Job done.

you need to press and hold select and reset then turn the ignition on this will let you set time and also mph or kph

iam of invading europe in just over 3 weeks didnt even think about the digi speedo reading mph so just did the press and told and turn on the power and sorted , try not to get done for speeding :headbang:

MPH to KPH: A possible answer???
 

I�ve had the same problem here, doing it by the book isn�t the answer, apparently, so, with a phone call to a very handy Yamaha dealer, they say
�Start with pressing the SELECT button before you turn on the ignition, turning the key with Select already down, leaving in down for a couple of seconds, then it �should change�.

There is a difference in how this is done depending on the year i have a 09 with and 08 manual and the instructions dont work for the 09 models. i vaguely remember the guy holding select with the key off.

Useful sticky ---
 

I'm halfway across europe with clock on the Ten showing two hours slow from last winter settings and speedo reading MPH. :ninja:

After reading this thread I should be able to sort things out before hitting the road again - thank you :eusa_clap:

Wow! ---
 

Just been for a ride up Feldberg Taunus with my new settings - surprising how slow it feels trundling through German villages on the legal limit :002:

Oh and it's nice to have real time without having to add a couple of hours :retard:

Not so nice to see my Ten has over 12 thou on the clock - didn't seem nearly as much in miles :099:

Best bit will be getting over 300 kms before filling up :brave:

Just bought a -11 Tenere with 13 k on the clock. And so far - so good. But I noticed the speedo shows around 10-12 % more than correct speed (GPS-speed) Thats quite annoying. What can be done to get the meter to show correct speed?
