Odometer

[terry]

 

For every 60 miles I ride, my odometer says that I went 80 miles!! Has anyone else had that issue?

Is this some sort of trick to get my warranty to run out faster?

How can I calibrate my odometer?

Perhaps you should mention what vehicle you are speaking about.

Oh. Sorry.

Its a 2009 People S 200.
I bought it brand new a few weeks ago. (The dealer still had a couple of 2009 models in the showroom.)

Optimistic speedo is a common fault with kymco, looks like you are going fast, follows through to the odometer. You can try a different size front tyre, but that will only correct it on some, depending on how far out they are. I believe you can get them recalibrated, but would cost a bit and unless it is out by more than the legal limit, it won't be covered under warranty.

The odometer is hooked direct. The speedometer works from a magnet.

Any chance thew odometer is reporting in KM instead of miles. I believe it is switchable.

My people 150 is in KM and is not switchable.

On the people s hold the A button for 2 seconds to change km miles km. On the DT300I hold the mode button for 2 seconds to change.

It says "miles" next to the number

The odometer on my 2009 Kymco People 150, is mechanical not electronic. It is in KM and cannot be changed. Not sure how the 200 S is set up. Look in the owners manual.
