Default Change display from MPH to KMS?

Is it possible to change the displays to celcius from farenheit and MPH to KMS? Did search but didnt see anything relating.

Do a search...there has been a couple of threads about this. I don't know why so many people keep insisting its in the manual. Its not...you can't change it unless you swap out the display cluster to a canadian one...then that will work. You'll get used to it though...I ride a bike and never look at my speed anyways...you will learn to judge your speed, and then the speedo is for nothing else but wasted space only the tach matters

Just look up the speed limits in canada with mph and you should be fine.

Thaks for the response. It would have just been nice to have it in the Canadian readings. No big deal.

Ya, I couldn't find any other way either. I bought a Canadian Pod Cluster set but haven't installed it yet.
