unwanted odometer change
« on: March 28, 2019, 04:45:25 AM »
After removing my Downtown 300i battery to charge it, my odometer changed from miles to kilometers. 
Have not found any way in the manual to change back to miles. 
Any suggestions?

On the dash there are three buttons, hold thed left button down.
It will change it between miles and kilometers.

I agree with kneeslider! I posted elsewhere that the owners manual tells all and it does not! I looked at my paper manual and the very first instruction is incorrect! Do what kneeslider said. The clock setting procedure seems correct. You get military time format ONLY. There is no change for that. The oil service reset is correct. Be advised, the oil service light is the same light as oil pressure! Theoil service light comes on at about 600 miles the first time and then every 3000 miles. That is NOT explained in the book.
